Peter hopefully ur having a good time. i would like to mention some stuff: 1- u should google the nearest city-hall and try get a local guide it’s *free of charge.* 2- cheap oud use to remove odor from the house, clothes or fridge. pricy ones for special occasions like weddings 3- most likely people go out late, after noon-ish till late night so probably u won’t find anyone helpful unless those who commutes. 4- when i was in ur country(WI) u guys been giving us a hard time and alot of sh** bout (texting- and-driving) . they say karma is a b**** so i’m returning the favor now DON’T do it 😂 5- up north by tabuk city is the coldest climate. 1-3 inches of snow and could be windy sometimes i wish i can tell u more but i’m from jeddah and i didn’t ever visited the southern which is sucks bc i visited more than 20 states and i didn’t vist that much in my country but that trip is on the bucket list for sure have fun👍

Understand the words and tell the truth.

[@user-cf1os5iq9v]

Thank you, teacher I hope you are visiting Saudi Arabia and we are happy with your hospitality

[@Reeferman420NL]

@@Leilaaa-xt2dzI suspect you have been consuming/fed pretty one sided and biased information. I agree that Saudi Arabia is a pretty well managed country, especially compared to other (big) surrounding countries. For a large part made possible by the wealth generated by the oil deposits. And also because Saudi Arabia was allied with the USA/EU and instrumental for the petrodollar system. And because of that was allowed a more stable society. Many other countries in the region weren't that lucky. You say "Saudi Arabia did not kill more than 4 million Syrians, but rather Russia, Bashar and Iran." I don't know from what year you start counting, but it seems like an inflated number. "Estimates of the total number of deaths in the Syrian Civil War, by opposition activist groups, vary between 503,064 and about 613,407 from March 2011 up to March 2023." Now let's assume that is an under-count and there were close to a million casualties. So indeed massive suffering and loss of life and about half of them innocent civilians. But to put the blame solely on the Syrian (Assad) government and their allies (Iran, Russia) IMO isn't accurate. The US department of State has declared in their public annual budget reports that around 2001 they started actively supporting opposition groups and media in an attempt to weaken the Syrian government to eventually cause a regime change. A couple of dozen million $ in the first years and growing to $300 million per year around 2010. And when Assad held on despite massive demonstrations an armed conflict began. I don't want to call it a civil war because foreign interference played a hue role in that. Similar situation in Ukraine, US State Department declared to have spend $5 billion in the decade running up to the Maidan protest and coup d'etat. Add 50% to those budgets from other sources like the EU and NGOs. Foreign actors destabilized those countries in an attempt to install their puppet ruler. In Ukraine they succeeded, in Syria they didn't. That's part of the reason countries like China have strict media control.

[@abdullahh1864]

At the end of your journey, please release a video review on the whole trip, how you found it, what differences did you notice, what did you expect and how it turned out, and finally, whether you’d recommend to some people or not.

The Western media claims to be anti racist with their BLM coverage but they are the ones pushing race into politics. It was the Western neo-liberal/neo-con media (namely CNN, BBC, Fox News, The Guardian) that pushed islamophobia to get people to support the illegal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. And now they are doing the same thing in Europe.

[@abdullahh1864]

20:30 it completely makes sense.. Ignorance isn’t a gift, but its sometimes called the “gift of ignorance” because one experiences the adventures of the unknown, until knowing them then its no longer an adventure haha And for the costume, you still respect and is proud about your identity of course, so wearing this costume only shows that you’re willing to blend with the culture and codes when you’re in the country. Having said that, if you wear jeans and shirts that doesn’t mean you disrespected the Saudi code whatsoever, but blending with the culture code is appreciated. Similar to when some Arabs travel to other countries, they’ll blend in the culture by not wearing thobes instead wear casual costumes or suit and tie in formal context. Wish you the best in ur journey !!

[@CraftxGame]

Everything you said makes sense except for the last part where you compared Saudi visitors of the US to the US visitors of KSA, it is true that it would be respectful and noticeable if you wear the thobe in KSA as there aren't many tourists from America. However, it doesn't really matter whether you wear a shirt or not in the US. After all, the t-shirt is an international costume and does not belong to the US only. On the other hand though, your statement would've been true if the country was lets say Pakistan or India as they have their traditional costumes. Hope it all made sense to you and sorry for the prolonged speech :)

[@abdullahh1864]

Price Makes sense and thats fair enough, T shirts and jeans are not a costume, rather a universal/international one.. but I used it as an example be cause its like the norm in some countries, though what you said was correct Glad talking with you and exchanging views !
