Saudi Arabia's New First Class Night Train: 1,200km through the desert from Riyadh to Qurayyat

[@FQXZ7]

What they gave you at 4:25AM is not breakfast, we call it "Suhoor", it is a meal before fasting, which means we stop eating and drinking Before sunrise until the sunset,That's why we have to wake up and have a meal to get ready for the day,I saw in the description that you made this trip in March, this was actually the month of Ramadan, at this time most people here are fasting, so they will serve this meal to everyone, even if they know that you are not a Muslim or fasting, they will give it to you cuz this is polite, but whoever don't want to be disturbed he/she can tell the employees in advance that she/he does not need this meal, BTW on normal days, this meal is not served so usually we have breakfast after 7am, not at such an early time as this. thank u for this great video,I wish you the best

[@RoryDing]

Hi thank you so much for the information! I took this trip 2 weeks before the start of Ramadan. So I don’t think the early meal time was for fasting. 😅

[@sirs2633]

nope. Suhoor is for the purpose of fasting. Although we don't eat breakfast that early doesn't mean it's not breakfast.

[@michaelhall8586]

This is fascinating, thanks for showing trains from countries we don’t always get to see

[@sa_4wd]

I am a Saudi from the city of Hail, and we have a train station on the same line. Despite traveling a lot to Riyadh, either by plane or in my own car, I have always thought about trying the train, but I haven't had the chance until now. Fortunately, I came across this vlog filled with information that I didn't know before. You are literally a tourist, but you provided me with an excellent picture of this train, and now I am seriously considering making my next trip to Riyadh by train. Thank you for this amazing coverage and valuable information. Welcome to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia!

[@RoryDing]

Thank you 😊

[@lord9562]

Tourists open our eyes to things about out own country that we never got to find out about. This train and railways in KSA was quite a revelation to me and very impressive. My father was 33 years in the service of the Indian Railways and everything railway is an attraction to me.

There’s a 6-line metro network currently under a construction in Riyadh and is expected to open later this year. There’s a line from the airport to the city but no metro is going to this train station 😅

[@yousefnoori]

@@RoryDing I found it very unfortunate that Riyadh's comprehensive metro covers almost everywhere important in the city including the south train station but missed this one, hopefully a good bus service will run between this station and the airport and/or the closest metro station (which are not very far)

[@ballsrocketry5179]

I completely agree. The thoughtful approach to the content of this video with respect to where it was filmed is next level.

[@jeffreytam1514]

Definitely exciting. Able to visit Saudi is an eye-opening trip but waking up for breakfast at 4:00am is something not accustomed to. Good job Rory, for taking us to see this exotic country. It's a country on my wishlist as well.

Riyadh is challenging for the World Expo city host in 2030. As the official capital of the kingdom and the seat of the Alsaud dynasty, they're revamping a lot of things over there. Jeddah has always taken the spotlight over them for decades now.

Visiting countries is not just to see the wonderful atmosphere, Saudi Arabia is full of history and civilization as well Evolution, you must learn because your words only reflect your ignorance regarding the fact that Saudi Arabia is a desert country. This is the nature of the country’s climate, but not after today. Perhaps you were talking 400 years ago, probably 😄​@HairOfTheDog2000

[@dumplingdeltastar]

Found you on my notifications link. Your video is very informative since I'm kinda new here at Dammam (4 months) and planning to go to Riyadh someday via this newly SAR train. It's such a relief that it's also safe to travel alone and they highly prioritize each passenger's comfort. Kudos to you! Keep making videos like this here in KSA. Subscribed to your channel and I'd be sharing this to my family in the Philippines so they'd be assured that it's safe here in the Kingdom. Great Job you did here Rory!👏🏻🎉
