Work-wise, the change for women is just an expansion of options of jobs. working women in Saudi is not a brand new thing. it's just that now different places & jobs are more inclusive of women, and families are more accepting and supportive. in the past of (before 15-50+) years women mostly would be working in jobs like teaching, nursing, medicine, and other health care jobs. there's more but that's what the majority of women workers did in the past. now we have pilots, flight attendants, musicians, models, engineers, entrepreneurs, personal trainers...etc. you name it. I'm a 24 y.o. nurse & my mom is a retired high school English teacher of 20+ years. appreciate your video! & loved the story & vibe of that first female tour guide " what my dreams were are the reality of my daughters now "

You might not like it, but these are some of the things people who aren't Saudi would like to know about your nation. I don't think Saudis are the primary audience for this video - you already know what your home is like. As someone unfamiliar with Saudi culture, I found it very illuminating to see the different ways Saudi women live beyond what we've read over the years about the moral police etc.
I went there as a nurse from Canada the first woman to not wear a hijab.I did not speak Arabic but I was an experienced nurse.This was in 2001.I was treated so badly by most of the staff that they made me miserable.I had to leave the hospital in 2 years.I am quite a tough lady but to think that couple of doctors and staff to treat me so badly was unbelievable.Anyways that’s my story.
Funny how we take these things for granted and here these ladies are very happy doing daily regular things like driving and working, very happy for them
Are you telling a joke Many Saudi women are businesswomen for centuries. The issue is that a Saudi man loves to serve his family and drives his wife to her work every day In recent years, serving parents and children has become difficult because the distances between the work of men and women and children's schools + driving has become safer, so they were allowed to drive. In Western countries, there are too many cases of harassment in official statistics, so this is one of the precautions that a Saudi man takes to protect his family. To be clear, these women do not express the culture of the Saudis.
@@Aljo3aid no this is an example of your country finally opening their doors so the rest of the world can see in and learn. Quit hating or is that just part of your culture???

@@knightara I’m Saudi & totally agree with you. We need to emphasize that politics shouldn’t be mixed with how an individual see a country’s citizens.

"SAUDI LADIES ARE TOUGH LADIES" that is a bullseye. When u say equality here in Saudi, I guess it works well with Saudi women even before they were given a chance to drive.

Great, eye opening report! So refreshing to learn about changes in an Arab country in recognizing basic human rights of women, something that some of the other Arab nations have practiced for long. It is amazing in the same region of the world some other countries are going doing the opposite by adding to restrictions on women's rights.
I really disliked the video. as a 23 yrs saudi girl , Iam disgusted that how some westen youtubers show us like aliens or living on another planet. just for your knowledge, the women driving thing was unacceptable by the saudi comunity bcs it was very strange thing in our culture not the government fault, even before allowing to drive ,saudi females have better life than some western communities .free medical services free education even colleges are free , the country is very safe for women comparing to the hypocritic west.I love my country the way it is ❤
You are a proud Saudi woman i like your opinion because when ever came western people to Saudi Arabia they think that we are barbaric nation and they make videos with our women, i wonder what they would feel if we came to they’re land and do the same to they’re women about our point of view. This kind of tourist is the most i hate.
Your comment is very misleading. It is 100% the fault of the government that women were not driving in the past, just like how they are the reason women are driving now. To say Saudi women lived better lives than Western women is completely untrue considering they were at the mercy of their male guardians. Many of them refuse women their most basic rights and this was allowed by the government. The same culture that doesn't want you driving also doesn't want you earning your own living and doing anything that they disapprove of. What we see in this video IS like being on another planet when you consider how things were just 5 years ago.

Hijab and abaya are among the clear teachings of Islam and are mentioned in Surat Al-Nur. Whoever wants to depart from the teachings of God will be punished on the Day of Resurrection by governments and peoples.
Not more, As for the ladies high respect , she respect islam befor pepole , u and anyone can’t help she in the hell , We don't care about women who have abandoned their values, Most of them are not Arabs Most of them are Pakistanis Indians, Syrians, Africans .
It's really not true that women couldn't work. In most places though, you will find people who are not natives working in restaurants, dry cleaners, hotels, etc. They are like migrant workers there like we have in USA but even more so because people are so educated due to free education in SA. Also, women take a lot of leadership/political roles that were established long before USA.
It is wonderful that you can be free of constraints. You do not need to be under male guardians. You can travel inside and outside. You do not have to wear abaiya or cover your hair.
Our beloved women have more rights and respect than any other women in the western or the Eastern country can imagine. If you not believe me just ask the new women who converted to Islam in the west why they converted. Or read about women rights in Islam. Stop listening to biased media and people. Or a non practicing Muslim. Our country is open for tourists come and see your self how our true Muslim women are more happier and educated than any other women in the plant and how they have far more right.
Not really, I'm Indonesian muslim and I love to hear about saudi Arabia from non muslim traveler perspective too. Because, most of the time my fellow muslim here only talk and show about the religion and the practice there and never really talking about the real life going on there, or the beauty of the city, the scenery, the society etc.
@@jiyuchan17 I didn't say don't listen to non Muslims, what I mean is when someone want to know the real Saudi Arabia and what our women want or how they feel or how they are treated then they have to ask and meet with real saudi people the practicing Muslims because they will reflect the view of the majority of the saudi women.
Sorry this is bullshit, I admit Saudi has become a lot better and the current leadership of Saudi is really good. But no Islamic civilization we have now offers more rights as any Western European country.
Saudi culture depends on two things: 1. Religion 2. Arab culture and values. For example, fornication, alcohol, gambling, usury, music, cinema, clothing without a loose abaya, hajab, and traveling without permission from a guardian. This is forbidden in Islam. 2. Women’s work as a cook, waitress or tour guide, we do not accept them as men who care about our family. We like that our women work in an environment that suits their privacy so that they are not subjected to harassment. But in general, Saudis are of two types: original Saudis from Arab tribes, Saudis of several races and nationalities who acquired citizenship in the last two hundred years, and these people have different cultures from us. What they see as empowering women in some work, we see it as an insult to women. A woman’s travel without the guardian’s permission is an infringement on the family and is not acceptable religiously and culturally, so the girl may lose her family because of individual behavior. Those I met are very nice and beautiful personalities, but they are not of Saudi origin, their culture is very different from the original population, they have different customs and culture. For example, I cannot accept that my wife goes as a guide with a foreign tourist in a golf car... I will never accept that. When a tourist goes to Chinatown and presents it as an American culture... this is what is happening with us at this time. Because the residents of Jeddah are active in tourism, but most of them are from the foreign communities that settled in the Hijaz I analyze and explain the situation and do not criticize. Each community and tribe has its own culture. But the origin of Arab and Islamic culture is the Qur'an and the Sunnah. What women say often contradicts our religion.
All the saudis outside saudi arabia partake in plenty of fornication, alcohol and gambling. Saudis have about as much to do with Islam as the Vatican does.

@@faygo12 Islamic religion prompt people to always think about others. There are so much things in Islam help in that one of them that it emphasizes on keeping good relationships with family, relatives, and friends. For example, severing ties of blood relatives consider a sin that’s human punished for in this world as well as in the Hereafter. “There is no sin more deserving of having punishment meted out by Allah to its perpetrator in advance in this world along with what He stores up for him in the next world than oppression and severing ties of family” (Islamic Hadith). This automatically will make everyone help his relatives so they will not be homeless.
If I were a woman, I know I’d revel in being a traditional wife and would love being a mother, but I know some women from all cultures also require an extra-domestic life and can respect that. I myself even as a guy know I’d be happiest being a house husband/father because there’s not really a genuine comparison of actual pride I could ever take from my career that compares to getting to raise up new life.
FYI that's true that the women couldn't apply for any job that they want but now everything's getting changed but the men grant expenses for their wives you're just seeking for the disadvantage second point in America when you go w ur family to the grocery store everyone buys by his own money even if they're couple add up to the drivers that's true they could drive but we bring chauffeur to them anyway it's ur choice whether you wanna be w chauffeur or not n as well as the cinema we didn't have it except recent years but that wasn't an issue we could watch the movies thru the cinema but could watch thru our devices but ur just making a fuss u just let us feel arrest development bc of absurd things

It’s really no way to live and certainly is NOT a quality family life if BOTH parents spend most of their time working and have basically no quality family time.
Every vlog I've seen about Saudi women I find them amazing like super woman looks a little lazy in comparison. Tough fierce persistent strong and so intelligent!!! They have multiple degrees and multiple professions. Super talented at many things. My fellow American women the bar has been raised. Shout out to Afgan women also amazing! No wonder men have kept them down... these women can survive without men!!! That scares the hell out of men.
@@jaja-zc1qz how has suppressing women, covering them from head to toe, keeping them from driving, and mingling with men helped THAT! HOW MANY TIMES DO MEN KISS EACH OTHERS FACE IN YOUR COUNTRY OR DO THEY RUB NOSES??? THE WEST ISNT MAKING ANYONE OVER THERE GAY. YOUR OWN GOVERNMENTS ARE!!!!
@jaja And now they have seen the amount of marriages decrease. Sex change operations increase and population decline. That is why they are all agreeing to let go of face and hair covers they have match makers working for the government. They dont care about values they want future tax payers being born, more exports to tax and better businesses to draw in tourism. They need women to help them! No point in running an empty impoverished country and leaving it to your children and grandchildren. The city of Sodom and Gomorrah was in the middle east! And: Thailand: Thailand is the country that performs the most sex reassignment surgeries, followed by Iran. So b4 you blame the west and believe the bs your country is feeding you.

Because the residents of Jeddah are active in tourism, but most of them are from the foreign communities that settled in the Hijaz
I analyze and explain the situation and do not criticize.
Each community and tribe has its own culture.
But the origin of Arab and Islamic culture is the Qur'an and the Sunnah. What women say often contradicts our religion.
All the saudis outside saudi arabia partake in plenty of fornication, alcohol and gambling. Saudis have about as much to do with Islam as the Vatican does.
شين وقواة عين بعد كل الي صار بالماضي باقي تبرر؟ محد مهتم في عاداتكم الخايسه هذي سبحان الله بس عاداتكم وتقاليدكم هي العنصريه والتمييز ضد النساء ماعندكم عادات ثانيه غير اضهاد المرأه .؟؟؟؟ اكرهكم من كل قلبي واتفشل اني انتمي لمجتمع معقد مثل مجتمعكم الخايس
@@زوجهبانقتشان ونحن ايضا لا نتشرف بأن تكون شخصا منا
thank U so much for this clarification
@@زوجهبانقتشان أغلب العادات السعودية تنسب الى الدين و لها منظور ديني. مثلاً ان الولي لازم يأذن للمرأة عشان اتسافر. هذا شي اسلامي . والله الفرق بين السعودية و الدول الثانية ان السعودية اصيلة و متحفظة بالدين و عاداتها و ماهي بدولة تتبع عادات الغرب. فالصراحة اذا ما تبين تكونين من هالمجتمع و تعارضين تعاليم ديننا كيفج. حسابج عند رب العالمين.
I'm so happy for these women that want to take advantage of new opportunities.
In USA we take these freedoms for granted.
Atleast there r no homeless Saudi women...
one thing that most country and USA can learn...
@@Jess-737 iv bn to Saudi Arabia, Iv seen experience it myself... There r no poverty among Saudi citizen...
@@fudgerace4356 yes but why is that. what is the key to having no poverty
@@faygo12 Islamic religion prompt people to always think about others. There are so much things in Islam help in that one of them that it emphasizes on keeping good relationships with family, relatives, and friends. For example, severing ties of blood relatives consider a sin that’s human punished for in this world as well as in the Hereafter. “There is no sin more deserving of having punishment meted out by Allah to its perpetrator in advance in this world along with what He stores up for him in the next world than oppression and severing ties of family” (Islamic Hadith). This automatically will make everyone help his relatives so they will not be homeless.
2:50 by 2030 hundertmillion ??? thats so unrealistic.
Off topic: is that Drew Binsky in the background?
Super nice!
If I were a woman, I know I’d revel in being a traditional wife and would love being a mother, but I know some women from all cultures also require an extra-domestic life and can respect that. I myself even as a guy know I’d be happiest being a house husband/father because there’s not really a genuine comparison of actual pride I could ever take from my career that compares to getting to raise up new life.
Well, brother, people have different priorities
Was that Drew Binsky at 2:48 ?
He's twin
This was nice to see and listen to but felt very short. Think more should of been heard.
This is absolutely amazing 🤩
Islam is islam, no change just short term like Afghanistan
Go watch Doug Bernard he is better flogger and show you a great view of Saudi .. I don’t know what this guy is doing..
Flogger? He flogs people? No thank u.
@@1990ashlamie No go watch Madina video or Riyadh season video..
this guy, i think don’t want people to see how great saudi is
@@1990ashlamie he means vlogger. Good job making fun of someone whose English is his second or third language
👍👍
FYI that's true that the women couldn't apply for any job that they want but now everything's getting changed but the men grant expenses for their wives you're just seeking for the disadvantage second point in America when you go w ur family to the grocery store everyone buys by his own money even if they're couple add up to the drivers that's true they could drive but we bring chauffeur to them anyway it's ur choice whether you wanna be w chauffeur or not n as well as the cinema we didn't have it except recent years but that wasn't an issue we could watch the movies thru the cinema but could watch thru our devices but ur just making a fuss u just let us feel arrest development bc of absurd things
Inshallah. I don't know why really laughing when I heard words culture and Saudi together 🤣
Asc women Saudi Arabia say Alxamdu Alshukri you live good blays so you don’t have to drive car bcs your husband he can’t drive you and you don’t have to work bcs your husband he is responsibility your life

I’m working i have home i have car
I’m working 7days a week ifan if I’m sick i don’t have joys bcz i have to my all beeld so i wish I had your life
Bro all the information in this video is wrong I can’t even point it
it's not really information -- it's interviews with real people
@@uptin anyways u have to check their information its like I’m watching Koreans talking about saudi
@@uptin everything was allowed except driving was not okay for society but in some cities was okay, and there is no written law says that saudi women are not allowed to drive
@@uptin so its really complicated u have to find a saudi who is aware of the changes, not a saudi who was in the us in his whole life and thinks that he knows whats going on
Wrong? Or just from a saudi women's point of view!! Oh right, they aren't suppose to speak out. Suck it up butter cup! Women are the future!
You have freedom so why advertise??? In the West Muslim Women have so much freedom but still most love the freedom Allah has given the women.
😂😂😂
We are a proud of 🐫
Uptin doin propaganda for the Saudi government, hope it pays well
How Are you I'm a arshed ali im a poor Man Plesse help me ilove YOU I'm From Bangladesh Plesse help me
We really shouldn’t or I mean society shouldn’t bully women into going out for the often underwhelming and unfulfilling life of taking home a salary AND being mothers. It’s really no way to live and certainly is NOT a quality family life if BOTH parents spend most of their time working and have basically no quality family time.
A what? They dont even wear hijab?
Like every other muslim country,
hijab is a choice not country's law
Women suffered a lot until they got their rights

Misleading

Hmm 🤔

Long way to go how exactly? lmao, women in saudi have far more rights than men, and any western woman

Every vlog I've seen about Saudi women I find them amazing like super woman looks a little lazy in comparison. Tough fierce persistent strong and so intelligent!!! They have multiple degrees and multiple professions. Super talented at many things. My fellow American women the bar has been raised. Shout out to Afgan women also amazing! No wonder men have kept them down... these women can survive without men!!! That scares the hell out of men.
It's not about the women, the society doesn't want lgbtq values that the west is trying to enforce that's all
@@jaja-zc1qz how has suppressing women, covering them from head to toe, keeping them from driving, and mingling with men helped THAT! HOW MANY TIMES DO MEN KISS EACH OTHERS FACE IN YOUR COUNTRY OR DO THEY RUB NOSES??? THE WEST ISNT MAKING ANYONE OVER THERE GAY. YOUR OWN GOVERNMENTS ARE!!!!
@jaja And now they have seen the amount of marriages decrease. Sex change operations increase and population decline. That is why they are all agreeing to let go of face and hair covers they have match makers working for the government. They dont care about values they want future tax payers being born, more exports to tax and better businesses to draw in tourism. They need women to help them! No point in running an empty impoverished country and leaving it to your children and grandchildren. The city of Sodom and Gomorrah was in the middle east! And: Thailand: Thailand is the country that performs the most sex reassignment surgeries, followed by Iran.
So b4 you blame the west and believe the bs your country is feeding you. Google the facts if your country will even let you access the entirety of any search engines.🇺🇸🇱🇧🇺🇸
