In Saudi Arabia life starts in night because of day heat, and you must go to Al-Balad area in corniche jeddah , both in new balad for modern sights and old balad for traditional jeddah. You can talk to young people boys and girls they are very welcoming.

Where in the US, you are expected to bring back your Rental Car with a full tank of Gas, in Saudi, it is the Opposite. You get the vehicle with little to no gas, and you can return it the same way. This is why they've built more Gas stations near the King Fahad Airport in Dammam, because people were running out of gas, before they could get to the gas station, after leaving the Airport.

Hey Gabriel, what a wonderful video. There for a while I thought I was back home in the Imperial Valley in Southern California. That clime up that mountain was almost exactly like going from El Centro to San Diego on I-5. Where you stopped at the top and showed the cell towers, thats exactly what they have done in Southern California. I have been to Saudi Arabia before but only to catch another plane and never got out of the airport. I must make an effort to go and spend a few days. Those "Monkeys" you saw were Baboons and they have adapted to the harsh climate but I think they stay mainly in the mountain area.

I thought you rented a Toyota Corolla. Just wanna let you know, when I was in Miami last summer, I rented the cheapest newest Corolla (newest model even the base model comes standard with dynamic cruise control that is almost autonomous). And it literally drives almost autonomously in cruise mode. You can drive that car without holding on the steering wheel and do videos and stuff. It steers the wheels on its own. I was driving from Miami to Tampa with ease for 4 hours with that Corolla.

Driving in Saudi is not for the faint of Heart. You must keep your head on a swivel at ALL times. If you don't have a Lead Foot, then Stay out of the Left Lane, or else you will be greeted with non stop flashes of the Hi-Beam and Tailgating. Every Lane is a TURN LANE. . . .yes !!! Being "cut-off " is the Norm. If you do have a Lead Foot, watch out for the Cameras. You barely see them, but they see you. When you see a bright flash of light, you've been caught.

16:43 this is actually because the Saudi government coordinate with different countries about their pilgrims numbers. For example, I think Indonesia has the highest number of pilgrims so they require a higher amount of accommodations. So, it is a matter of organizing and managing the huge influx of crowds and at the end they all go to the same places.

The hamadryas baboon (/ˌhæməˈdraɪəs/;[4] Papio hamadryas) is a species of baboon from the Old World monkey family. It is the northernmost of all the baboons, being native to the Horn of Africa and the southwestern region of the Arabian Peninsula. These regions provide habitats with the advantage for this species of fewer natural predators than central or southern Africa where other baboons reside. The hamadryas baboon was a sacred animal to the ancient Egyptians and appears in various roles in ancient Egyptian religion, hence its alternative name of 'sacred baboon'.

Or rather,where they were "born". I made the conclusion that Japan is the absolute winner. So many Japanese firms on the streets,not only in Saudi Arabia,but in India too. I hade made a comment in your Indian videos about the Suzukis,which apparently are everywhere,I mean,everywhere. 2- Man,you were walking and walking and walking on this endless and unbelievably narrow pavement,towards the end of your video,with the cars passing really fast like only a few centimetres from you and I got some stress there !

Also, you were in Jeddah during Jeddah season, there are nine festivity zones across the city of Jeddah: Jeddah Superdome, Al-Jawhara Stadium, Jeddah Jungle, Jeddah Yacht Club, Jeddah Art Promenade, Jeddah Pier, Prince Majid Park, City Walk, and Al-Balad. Each of these zones will hold special kinds of events, related to the historical and cultural aspects of its location, display almost 3000 events, 4 international exhibitions, 20 concerts, and a huge fireworks everyday for 2 months. Same with Taif there are a lot of parks Shafa, Hada, Alrdaf, king fahad, king Abdullah, and Saiysad notional park, Okaz souq, and punch of museums, palaces and historical areas.

Dear Gabriel It seemed to us that your visit was unresearched, and that you missed some essential things that we saw from other vloggers. Overall we watch many of your videos and enjoy your fresh perspectives e.g the other side of maldives, but this Jeddah visit just seemed poorly planned and executed.

This reminds me of TX or AZ, or even my home state of FL, where its just so dang hot that one would find very little life beyond the 'car culture' of traveling from one air conditioned space to another. Only at night do the people go outside to mill around.

Very interesting. I enjoyed seeing all your Saudi videos, not somewhere that I've been drawn to, but can see the appeal. Strange how everyone must just either stay inside or be in their cars! It didn't seem like there were many cafes or restaurants etc. I imagine you're in the UK now, I hope you've got a good road trip planned, I live in Bath, that's a beautiful city to visit. Anyway I'm sure you have some cool places in mind, will look forward to more in the near future from wherever you end up after the UK! Happy Travels..

There are so many places out there. The mistake the vloggers do going out early morning and noon time plus he missed a lot of places worth visiting out of little research and planning .

@@Piscoandmartinis in gulf countries including Saudi Arabia general rule they avoid the sun and heat .They go out during the day but to close cold places malls , cinemas , restaurants ...ect But majority prefer going out after 4 PM and young people stay awake until early dawn during the weekend . Also early morning and afternoon is school , university and work time so that's why nobody is walking around. There are many options and places to visit, you just need to invest some time searching before travelling .

Jeddah tower has already reached about 60 or 70 floors, you were at the wrong location, its way north of Jeddah 😉. You were roaming around the southern area in Jeddah which is not as nice and modern as North and West Jeddah. It’s like going to NYC and roaming around The Bronx only. You missed the most beautiful part of the city the new Cornish, you will see men and women riding bikes and jogging and perhaps you can interact more with the locals there, you missed the sandy beaches in the new Cornish , the beautiful malls like Red Sea Mall and King Road. Still I’ll give you a credit for visiting the historical district👍🏻. Thank for the great video.

I guess he’s more interested in historical sites and traditional ones rather than new district and developments.. I’m one of his followers since a long time and always wanted him to come to Saudi and explore since his interests are way different than normal ones he likes to go to raw old and traditional places

Seeing all the haze in the air I checked an air quality map... Saudi Arabia looks like they don't allow reporting of it or something... can see why. Bahrain (which is right next to Saudi Arabia) is reporting some of the worst quality air in the world right now.

The great historical secrets exists in the abandoned deserts. 34:40 One last thing, Niqahb is a new Salafist word. Hijab is the right term, which means "coverage". Bourqa'a is a traditional name of a piece of leather that covers the woman's noise, mouth and cheeks.. And this one is only common in the Arabic Gulf countries. 42:25 Yes, Camels are one of my favorite animals too, for all what you said, but more important that they are unique and generous and super patients.

I would have visited as much of Saudi Arabia as you could have During your trip. Who knows how long the Tourist visa will exist, but more importantly, who knows how long the 2% of cultural and historical sites that haven't been destroyed will still exist.
