Is This the Most Controversial Country in the World?

[@OffshoreCitizen]

Sorry about the bad lighting. We couldn't do much at the time of filming. Hope it doesn't distract too much.

[@daveb3987]

Who is that shadowy figure?? 😜

[@anarki777]

I went to Bali years ago and it was beautiful. No one really talked about Bali back then. Now I hear it's overrun with tourists. I can't imagine that it has the same feeling as when I went there.

[@tw9419]

So many places are completely ruined by mass tourism nowadays. Crowds, mess, pollution... Places that used to be peaceful and beautiful nowadays became hotspots of mass tourism. It's far from enjoyable. It's always good to explore new places, untouched by mass tourism. Europe used to have a few hidden gems, unfortunately that is changing rapidly. Saudi seems like an interesting spot to check out.

[@alfred3041]

I would love to see more clips of the locations you recommend. Your descriptions are good, I’m just not imaginative :( womp

[@stumpysolo]

Was in Saudi couple of times in the last 2 years and totally agree all what you said. Extremely friendly and welcoming people, we were totally shocked in a positive way. Was not expecting that at all.

[@WallStreetIceCream]

A video about which Gulf Country would be nice like compare UAE QATAR BAHRAIN SAUDI which is easy to purchase a apartment get residency setup a business overall live

[@bilijeanz]

Love your content on the Gulf countries… not a lot of nomad/expat content creators talk about those

[@somethinglikethat4150]

Thanks man

[@coolrunnings5383]

I went to Saudi 2 years ago and was pleasantly surprised. I fear it’s only a matter of time before it becomes the next Dubai

[@tinglestingles]

Looks like a massive beach - the tide's gone out along way!! 😀

[@OffshoreCitizen]

Cappadocia is among the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life. It's magical

[@DaveG-qd6ug]

look at the average temperature chart🤔😵‍💫

[@aleksandrveryayskiy843]

Very informative! p.s. lighting! the video would be x10 better with a bit of proper lighting)

[@OffshoreCitizen]

Agreed. But couldn't do much at the time of filming :(

[@micomarinas2753]

any update or ultimate guide about the saudi premium golden visa?

[@BlackLabelExpat]

A lot of that country 30 years ago perception is still in exist

[@HunkyMan777]

Sand, sand and more sand. Not my idea of beauty

[@NxD3TH]

Can I have a beer there while I am enjoying the landscapes? Dealbreaker for me :)

[@michaelgood9218]

beer lowers your testosterone

[@Epicsaudi]

Coming from a Saudi myself, yeah youre going to be fine. A lot of people here go to Bahrain to drink anyways😂

[@lorenk.775]

Saudia will allow alcohol for foreigners, or just get alcohol-free beer.

[@FORTISIAKING]

Saudi Arabia is hosting the world cup in 2034 so it will be interesting to see how they handle over tourism in 10 years, to be honest they will be way more ready than Qatar.

[@blanksy_-]

to be honest Maldives looks prettier

[@Do_Dirty3]

I spy Miraya

[@M0NEYBALLS]

Id stick with Albania, at least some trees and you can have a beer with a woman in a cafe without fear of imprisonment

[@MatrixDeception722]

I do that in Saudí often 😂 but keep believing social media.

Come on, man...

[@nomadic-mind]

I'd rather not be a tourist somewhere where you could get jailed for being drunk or bringing a lady friend to your hotel when you aren't married.

[@borisserafim]

"stunning nature" - actually is desert, no life, nothing. "no tourist" - of course, who wants to go there 😂😂😂

[@aaqib.nazeer]

Untouched desert IS nature

[@myronbourne6937]

Same as Arizona

[@boisehingis2399]

Get out of our broken countries like north america, western Europe, travelling outside your boring comfort zone will make it worth it

[@hamadalkalbani4122]

Stunning nature - We have a lot of different Landforms. Also, it is not true that there are no tourists, there are an increasing number of tourists, cuz Saudi Arabia is new to tourism sector. It is just opened up for tourists. Official government reports indicate that we reached 109 million tourists, 27 million of them is from abroad. Cuz of this Saudi Arabia ranks the 11th in terms of external tourists.

[@Epicsaudi]

All desert? Buddy look at abha, tabuk, and khobar. They are far from "deserts". Not that your American/European dumbass would know.

[@blanksy_-]

the extreme views against women and LGBT puts me off

[@cineffect]

Against LGBT is fine with me.

[@InstantLuc]

I'd say don't blame the people for the government. And sure, the government might profit from tourism but the reality is that KSA enjoys support from pro-LGBT countries. And lastly, women are struggling in many western countries. In reality, the Saudi government takes care of women far more than the USA does, which is embarrassing.

[@manni192]

How will you know what its like until you visit?

[@Epicsaudi]

Most of those laws have been abolished already.

[@btc1m654]

Hey Michael, if you are in Riyadh lets meet up. I’m a fan of your work, and dinner is on me!

[@MrAmhara]

Stay there. Bye

[@joshking010]

stop barking

[@DavidF.Lambert]

Only concern is how they treat woman. Well more of my wife concernes. Also what about managing your company and bringing employees there. Is it hard? Vs kl

[@CrustaceanAllergyEnjoyer]

What do you mean

[@joshking010]

David don't believe everything you read online, women in Saudi are actually well respected & the majority are in high position jobs. A woman can do whatever a man does and dress codes goes for both genders, the abaya ( the black robe women wear ) isn't even mandatory.
