My sister was a nurse in Riyadh for 7 years. She really enjoyed her time working and living in Saudi Arabia. She didn't want to leave but at the time foreign housing complexes were being targeted and bombed and it became to dangerous to live where she did. While in Saudi Arabia she developed double breast cancer and she said she received the best medical care and new treatment. Years after she moved back home though her cancer came back and she passed away in 2016. I have many items she sent back home to me from Saudi Arabia and I treasure them.

It mustn't have been easy but he did it with much grace, especially when he manages to bring to light issues that in Saudi Arabia are not to be discussed or disputed or else! Often seemingly irrational in my point of view, often clouded by religion and power. I have to admit some of their culture made my blood boil. Not that the Western world is perfect however, we are seeing it fall of its perch in terms of free speech, democracy, hypocrisies, and abuse of power. Thank you for taking us on this journey of SA with you. This man gave balance with his compassion for the poor and downtrodden, the injustices and the complex inconsistencies of the culture. The young women were incredibly strong, while battling a somewhat archaic culture. I doubt if the truth will ever come to light of the brutal murder of journalist Khashoggi, or someone else will be accused.

Why are you trying to change the truth? 3_ What freedom are you looking for? In Saudi Arabia, we have the best freedom, and we live with dignity, and under the auspices of our government, we receive care that no other people on the face of the earth finds. While the freedom you are looking for is for us to reject our rulers, to be disobedient, and to be opposed to their rule.

Such an indepth documentary. Loved seeing the core of the people from all walks of life from within the country. The quality, length and details, boldness of interviewer, and personal touch from seeing him go through Mecca and Medina.. I think one of the women there raised a great highlight of appreciating and being excited for seeing the country grow, develop, transitions. Outsiders are often quick to criticise how great or well it is doing, but its also important to recognize and appreciate how far its progressed. There will always be rooms for improvement everywhere, but not diminishing the progression and growth from how far its come is important. I think its more fair to judge it according to each country's own history and scale, versus according to the standards of those who are worlds apart from it. It can easily distract from appreciating the growth & progression standards over time.

This would have to the best documentary of Saudi Arabia that I've seen. I've learned so much. Kudos to you and all your team for brilliant work

[@jdee4956]

Fascinating - I wish them well in their journey to moderation.

[@lonamuffinandprinces8085]

Thank you so much for this document I've learned alot about Saudi Arabia now that they have a new young leader im also excited for the changes.

[@ravenofthewild]

Watch "Escape From Saudi" a video here by ABC News and learn what this new young leader is doing to women who fought for the right to drive.

Grazie. Grazie per questo documentario molto affascinante e illuminante.

A pedagogical tourist guide, very insightful and intelligent, she is everything I would wish a tour guide to be, besides she is warm-hearted and inclusive. If someone takes the responsibility upon herself, to look at monuments from a child’s perspective, you can be sure to submit your innocence , ignorance to an engaged guide to fully comprehend something unfamiliar. ❤

Did she stamp his passport ?

Liberals & Kafirs say woman not being able to show their beauty to unknown man is oppression 😂. In reality, In a liberal society Woman has to pay 50% of house bills, 50% of children's expenditure, pay for 50% of own food, children’s food husband’s food etc. Pay 50% tax to the liberal govt. Has to Take care of 2 duties Earning for family, taking care of family. And when Islam says, You don't have to take 2 duties just take 1 and keep your money. Islam becomes oppressive 😂. The reason they mock us is because we didn’t mock them first.

i dont hear these voices of women rights organisations while palestinians women are killed day and night, but hear that voice when a woman wears a scarf, wat t a shame

[@cynthialamptey2618]

Great Documentary!

[@Lazirus951]

That was a fascinating look at SA. This shows just how complex of a county SA is and how beautiful and ugly life can be there depending on your circumstances. I'm amazed the film crew was able to get so much access to sensitive areas while asking potentially dangerous questions. Well done!

[@truetech4158]

If you go there and say publicly that the Saudi 9/11 plane hijackers never floated off the a happyland in the sky, you are tossed in jail for 10 years in Saudi Arabia. Stockholm syndrome is the real name of that debate evading country.

Saudia Arabia does not want that rainbow mafia flag alphabet cult in their country.

MBS is a KILLER. Justice for Kashoggi.

Prachtige documentaire.

[@davisurdaneta1426]

I used to live and work in KSA (Riyadh and Jeddah) 17 years ago, it was way more strict than today but Jeddah was always a bit liberal compared to Riyadh. So long you don't break any rules and stay out of trouble, you'll be fine. I had great memories there, I've worked and met with a lot of amazing people both locals and other arabs from around the middle east. People were kind and generous. I am sure a lot of things has already changed. Would love to visit again.

[@authenticreviewerjeddah4272]

Thank you, we would like you visit saudi again Insha Allah

[@maureenstarr5744]

I lived there to it was just fine

[@sayedusmanburhani7214]

I once lived in Saudi Arabia for about fifteen years and I am so glad for that, And there was no such "Things" like it is now like the new Orders from the king/mbs or some kinda new rules, human rights etc etc etc, And it was So Peaceful. "Before"!

People in Saudi Arabia are so scared to even speak their opinions. SO SAD!!!

[@Drupzy.]

nah , before yea but now we have freedom except talking bad about our leaders , nobody want to anyway they are the best everyone here loves them + its getting loose every year i can say , now saudi arabia is gonna host world cup 2034 Saudi Arabia is racing time to fix the country from transportations and new tourist destinations can make everyone change their views in desert + surprisingly the biggest green park in the world is being built there currently , in the middle of the desert

Such a well developed and informative video. Another world - so completely different to my country, Australia

[@salaamtourstravels.salaamtrave]

Australian is a home of racism & arrogance.

[@margotgray3330]

Also Australian, and can't agree more how different our country is to Saudi Arabia. Firstly, we don't have dissident journalist killed and dismembered because they don't agree with the crown prince "MBS". Jamal Khashoggi worked for the Washington Post and was murdered in Turkey on 2 October 2018 under the orders of MBS. Human rights are not even part of his regime's agenda.

[@ابراهيمالشهري-غ6ي]

It is not true that I am a Saudi citizen. Women before 2019 may have been a kind of injustice, but now everything has changed and women have become an important and active part of society. ​@joeyward8868

​@joeyward8868in the other countries men and woman are equal in most things. In the middleeast woman are seen as sex objects thats why they also cover their everywhere
