Riding Riyadh's $23 BILLION Driverless Metro System (World's Longest) 🇸🇦

[@DavidGTravels]

In addition to all the ways I mention in the video, you can also buy your metro tickets in the DARB app. And by the way, I've got many more travel videos coming from my interesting visit to Saudi Arabia, so make sure you're subscribed with alerts on to know when they come out - thanks y'all!

[@oljjjjj]

Btw the bus stop isn’t locked, you have to press the button to open the door 😅

[@DavidGTravels]

😅 really?

[@oljjjjj]

@@DavidGTravelsyes, you can go back to the video and see the button next to the door “ in the door frame on the right side”. 😅

[@oljjjjj]

@@DavidGTravelslook at 2:51 exactly, and you will see it.

[@DavidGTravels]

😂 good to know for when I’m there in summer!

[@oljjjjj]

@ I think in summer your survival instincts will guide you to it 😂.

[@obieeetleb7764]

Great to see people are using the system.

[@reactionKadir786]

Good video ❤❤

[@malconsak]

You didn't go to KADF station in the financial district? Its the second biggest one and was designed by zaha Hadid

[@DavidGTravels]

Not in this video, I did make separate stop there though.

[@junaidferariofficial4346]

I worked for 2 years at this station, good to see. ❤

[@DavidGTravels]

Nice work!

[@stuarthunter7559]

Best Chinese when I was in Riyadh was called Riyadh Chinese Restaurant. Nothing really good in the Malls. London Fish and chips is ok. Indian and Pakistani curry houses are usually awesome. And the prices. I miss Saudi. Social life was 🎉 good

[@DavidGTravels]

Thanks for the recs!

[@occeanlover]

Amazing

[@YaserAlharbi-eg7jw]

if you like Chinese food try ( baytoti ) my favorite restaurant especially the plain noodles - dynimate shrimp.

[@DavidGTravels]

I like all good food, will have more Saudi eating in some upcoming videos for you!

[@YaserAlharbi-eg7jw]

You can check the new Chinese market (We mart Hypermarket Riyadh)on Khurais road. just open couple of weeks ago.

[@omarfarooqui3715]

[@DavidGTravels]

In Riyadh?

[@asimchillify]

Great video, im sad it was not open when i went to riyadh

[@DavidGTravels]

Really a cool metro, thanks for watching!

[@NadaAlbishi-m1m]

THE BUILDING YOU SHOW US IN THE BEGINNING IS SO OLD ,AND LEFT OUT BY THE OWNERS . WELCOM TO Saudi ARABIA

[@DavidGTravels]

Thanks! So just abandoned now?

[@rifath004]

Your content is amazing! 🤩 But I’m curious, why do you think your audience is still smaller than it could be? Have you considered what might be impacting its growth? 🤔

[@rifath004]

I can share a channel Audit report on excel tomorrow ok? Have a look and then you realize where was the mistakes are.

[@rifath004]

What is your main motive for your channel?

[@oljjjjj]

I’m not sure when you filmed your video” I’d recommend adding the date”. I say this only because yesterday The National Museum Metro Station was opened. It would have saved you time 😅. I know you wanted to walk which is nice for this video.

[@DavidGTravels]

Thanks for watching! The date and location is included for this video. I filmed it on January 10th, too bad they hadn’t opened that station quite yet.

[@oljjjjj]

@@DavidGTravelsthey also opened albatha station yesterday, the one next to your hotel 😅. You missed it by a little. Both stations are fully operational now. If you’re still in Riyadh, could you please show us more of the Riyadh Metro. I enjoyed the video. Anytime mate.

[@Missgerdah52]

nice very next time I recommend u going to baytoti its a Chinese restaurant its the best for me I always order from the corn soup tastes too corny but in a good way go check there menu they're not fancy or anything like that and they have good prices I really recommend it

[@DavidGTravels]

Thanks for watching! Sounds like Baytoti is really popular, I’ll have to give it a try. Will have more Saudi videos with tons of food for you soon 😊

[@-Osiris-]

Great video, but I'm not a fan of the fish eye lens

[@DavidGTravels]

Thanks! What type of lense do you prefer?

[@al-besher7276]

guy lost his wife in metro and went to chinese restaurant alone. Welcome to Riyadh

[@muslim19800]

I think he is lying, no wife in whole clip.

[@DavidGTravels]

We found each other quick, thought it was worth including that part in the video to show easy it was to navigate the metro. That was my first ever ride on it by the way.

[@alansariammar]

Am still confused if he really have a wife or it’s an insider joke that we don’t get 😂😂

[@moathmansur1951]

If you want a really Chinese food you need too visit we mart

[@DavidGTravels]

Is that like a grocery store a dining area?

[@alisaleh1000]

Yes ​@@DavidGTravels

[@fdama]

8:53 they thought you were from Georgia the country. Georgia is a popular holiday destination for Saudis. Say America next time.

[@DavidGTravels]

Makes sense, thanks for pointing that out

[@sultanalotaibi8729]

@@DavidGTravels Nah they didn't they heard you say USA , Atlanta Georgia. We know what you're saying .

[@DavidGTravels]

⁠@@sultanalotaibi8729I really have met so many people in Saudi that lived in the US or are at least are very familiar with the country.

[@Nozer6974]

P.F chang's and Baytoti are good Chinese restaurant check it out.

[@DavidGTravels]

Tried a PF Chang’s in Saudi and was pretty similar to the US, but reallly pricy for what you get. Have to check Baytoti, thanks for sharing.

[@sultanalotaibi8729]

It's frowned upon to film people without their consent and more specifically pointing the camera at people in closed like a small restaurant or in this case a metro cabin. Moreover, don't point and video women with their families, it's extremely rude in our culture. If you have space to move to different cabin other than the family one, just go there , it's "Family Cabin" for a reason. Other than that enjoy Saudi and Riyadh.

[@DavidGTravels]

Thanks, really enjoy Saudi! As for filming, most of the clips are in the single and first class cabins. I’m always receptive if folks don’t want to be in a video, and my biggest aim is to be respectful and open to learning when visiting any place.

[@entertainmentshortstories7599]

​@@DavidGTravelsBrother, you are white American so don't worry about anything, you can do whatever you want you are always welcome.

[@razaqureshi-zr3ie]

Driverless metro has been operating in kualalumpur for the last 20 years😁😁 saudis have not done anything new.

[@DavidGTravels]

There’s quite a few around the world, this is just the longest and newest one

[@muslim19800]

Thanks, David, Avoid filming people and staring... Where is your wife? Family section for family.

[@DavidGTravels]

I always travel with my wife, but I film videos while she does photography so generally she’s not in the videos. You can check out her photography here if you want: www.minted.com/store/rasapu

[@eillex6181]

Don’t film the women it’s illegal and not nice at all 😕

[@DavidGTravels]

I’m always respectful when filming in public spaces. Feel free to send me an e-mail with any concerns.

[@SalmanAlbelal]

@@DavidGTravels what she/he meant is that pointing a camera at someone especially in the family section may easily be perceived as disrespectful. I am sure you r respectful and u meant no harm but it's part of the culture. I hope u have a nice stay in our country.

[@entertainmentshortstories7599]

Illegal only for brown people, not for white people

[@ranjithpowell6791]

It’s better than dubai

[@DavidGTravels]

Different for sure
