To those who have been part of this journey, thank you so much! My goal was to document everything I saw in Saudi to the best of my ability, to show you what it was like on the ground with limited plans and organization. To show you natural interactions with locals and how I was treated by them. To present a truth that I have not found presented to me living in the West. I definitely misunderstood some things and got some right, but I can look back now on how little I knew about Saudi and now realize how much more I need to learn about this very complex and beautiful culture. لمشاهدة الرسالة العربية اضغط "اقرأ المزيد"
It's now almost unbelievable that I was a bit nervous flying in from Istanbul to Riyadh, wondering if I'd be received with suspicion and hostility. But instead, I've left with new friends and an understanding of true hospitality, a gift that only a few countries in the world have at this level.
Thank you so much for those who supported me along the way and made this 11-part video series special ua-cam.com/play/PLEyPgwIPkHo5N7q3HMQYIoVTgl8JY-I8X.html. And thank you Saudis who guided me through your country with open arms and heart. It was an eye-opening adventure that I'll never forget :) I look forward to returning to the Kingdom in the future En Shala! I have to say I'm a bit sad that this series is over but the story will continue, just in other countries. And I'd love for you to continue on this journey with me.
THANK YOU again for everything... this Saudi series meant a lot to me and you made it happen!
Peter
مرحباً بالجميع! أريد أن أخبركم أن شخصًا هنا قد أنهى ترجمة الفيديو. اسمه AJ @ajwadsabano. لقد صنعت هذا الفيديو للأشخاص المسافرين إلى السعودية ، لذلك لم أكن أعتقد أنك تريد مشاهدة هذا الفيديو إذا كنت تعيش هناك. ثم أدركت أننا في رحلة معًا وهذا هو الفيديو الأخير لذا يجب أن أحصل عليه بالترجمة العربية أيضًا.
إلى الذين شاركوني في هذه الرحلة ، شكراً جزيلاً لكم! كان هدفي هو توثيق كل ما رأيته في السعودية بأفضل ما لدي ، لأريكم كيف كان الحال على أرض الواقع بلا أي تخطيطات مسبقة. أودت أن أظهر لكم انطباعات السكان المحليين على أصولها . لأقدم الحقيقة التي لم أجدها قدمت لمن يعيش في الغرب. من المؤكد أنني قد أسأت فهم بعض الأشياء وحصلت على بعض الأمور بشكل صحيح ، لكن يمكنني أن أعود الآن إلى الماضي لمعرفة مدى قلة معرفتي بالسعودية وأدركت الآن مدى احتياجي إلى معرفة المزيد عن هذه الثقافة الجميلة والمعقدة.
أصبح من المثير للسخرية أنني كنت متوترا قليلاً في رحلتي من إسطنبول إلى الرياض ، أتساءل عما إذا كنت سأستقبل بالحقد والعداء. لكن بدلاً من ذلك ، غادرت مع أصدقاء جدد وفهمًا للضيافة الحقيقية ، وهي سمة لا تمتلكها سوى عدد قليل من البلدان في العالم على هذا المستوى.
أشكر الذين ساندوني طول الطريق وحولوا سلسلة مقاطع الفيديو المكونة من 11 حلقة الى إصدار متميز ua-cam.com/users/playlist؟list=PLEyPgwIPkHo5N7q3HMQYIoVTgl8JY-I8X. وشكراً للسعوديين الذين قادوني خلال بلدهم بأيدي وقلوب مفتوحة. لقد كانت مغامرة مشيقة لن أنساها أبدًا :) وأتطلع إلى العودة إلى المملكة في المستقبل إن شاء الله! يجب أن أقول أنني حزين بعض الشيء لأن هذه السلسلة قد انتهت ولكن الرحلة ستستمر ، لكن في بلدان أخرى. وسأكون سعيدا اذا بقيتم معي في هذه الرحلة.
شكراً لكم مجدداً على كل شيء ... هذه السلسلة السعودية تعني الكثير بالنسبة لي وأنا جعلتها تحدث!

Decent and understandable translation but not the perfect one from a Google translator for sure 😂🌹
I wish you the best in your next journeys. I hope you will be writing a book regarding your trips to all those countries and your experience. Then, it should be studied in schools.
@@MrSamshy Thanks Saeed :)
It's been my dream of what you have shared about life's in Saudi. My first trip was 3 years ago while I did my umrah a small haj. But that didnt reflects any of Saudis people daily life. I hope you won't stop and to continue on the next journey. I may not afford to but your vlog has saved me a lot of money and energy. Watching you seems I was already been in Saudi.
We love you, Peter, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will greet you every time. Farewell, Peter, take good care of yourself❤️✋🏻.
مختصر كلامه في نقاط
١- استخراج التأشيرات للسياحة بالسعودية سهله جدا
٢- السعودية اكثر بلد اساء فهمها واغلب المعلومات عنها مغلوطة والناس كانوا يحذرونه وان السعودية خطرة وارهاب
٣- الشعب السعودي مضياف جدا وكريم وودود
٤- من افضل الرحلات التي قام بها في حياته
٥- يحب ثقافة السعودية انها لا تتمحور حول الكحول
٦-الطيران الداخلي سعره رخيص
٧- الفنادق ب ٥٠ دولار تسكن بفندق جيد بس ماهي خمس نجوم وشبه الفندق ببيوت الشباب ( ويقصد الشقق المفروشة)
٨- امتدح الأكل بالسعودية
٩- امتدح الأمن بالسعودية وأن الأمن فيها افضل من اَي بلد تأتي منه
١٠- المدن السعودية الناس فيها يخرجون بالليل اكثر من النهار
١١- وان الشباب يحبون محمد بن سلمان
١٢- المجتمع مترابط ومهتم بالأسرة والأصدقاء
١٣- ينصح السياح باحترام ثقافة الشعب ويتواصل معهم بعقل مفتوح
١٤- كثير من السعوديين يتكلمون إنجليزي
١٥-اختلاف الثقافات في المدن السعودية واختلاف الطبيعة وان فيها جبال وخضره
١٦-بالنهاية يدعوهم لذهاب للسعودية
بيض الله وجهك يا تركي
Mohammd Jo وجهك ابيض
بطل الله يوفقك على التقرير المختصر الرائع

Because of your Saudi Vlog, my family is planning a trip to Saudi!
Most welcome 🌷
You, and your family are more than welcome
نجود المطيري I understand and appreciate you recommendations. We have traveled to other Muslim countries and understand we are guests in your country.

Each region in Saudi has different culture's roles
@victor pizarro Hey Victor. Please don't listen to her. Our youth are driving a movement to liberate the social freedoms in the country. If you ever go to Jeddah or Riyadh, please tell your female members to not wear abaya. Thank you and welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦❤️
I love this country, i want to go to saudi arabia greetings from brazil
Welcome to our country any time dear friend :)
You are most welcome my guy.
We love Brazil too.... and especially Ronaldinho lol
you are more than welcome anytime
you are most welcome
Thank you Peter for showing the true Saudi Arabia to the western world .
@محايد قدر المستطاع not all of them are enemies. A lot of people are educated wrongly. They don't know the truth. That's it
@محايد قدر المستطاع when I say "they", I'm talking about the people in general. The young, and the old, the poor, and the rich. I'm not talking about the people in power, who make movies, new, etc.. I'm talking about young kid that all he cares about is his video games, the one who was brainwashed by the media, to believe in lies.
Obviously, that miseducation. I don't think that everyone outside knows the truth. Some people, since day one, they have been told lies, till they believed that is that's the reality.
Raza Khan bruh
Peter, your video series were amazing and unique. I learned from them about Saudi more than I have while living there when I was growing up. Thank you for sharing!
@@Lonna27 Are you one of the Aramco kids?
I am a private chef and I’ve had the great opportunity to work for visiting Saudi folks here in USA (and I’ve just been asked again) My experience was awesome and frankly I’d rather work for them than most Americans!! Lol -
If they ever asked me to come over there To do a project I’d do it in a second!
I enjoyed your series :)
Oh I wish you will have a chance to give us .. its an honor to have open minded people like urself ❤️ we have fancy restaurants here and international hotels and fancy local hotels .. we have princes and princesses who would a professional chef 🌹
Yah you met rich Saudis. I lived in the USA for education of course the fanciest restaurant I’d been to was Cheesecake Factory 😅👍🏼
Thank you for your kind words
Saeed Alshehri ترا الرجال يتكلم عن أخلاق سعوديين قابلهم.. ايش دخل كونهم أغنياء من عدمه.. لو تحرر تعليقك يمكن أوفق واكيد القرار راجع لك لكن صدقني أتمنى تراجعه
Cool :) Thanks Jimmy!
@@mahaenazy we would love to have you for sure :)
I am currently in Riyadh, almost a month now, and I am European. IMHO Peter's vlog series about Saudi Arabia are the most sincere, unbiased and objective presentations of this country so far. I am here because I've opened a daughter company just 2 months ago - so far we've recruited 6 young Saudi employees - smart, open minded, educated in the West, perfect English, all of them had traveled to many countries and had seen all kinds of cultures. Hard working, dedicated and eager to learn new things.
Sometimes I wonder how the Western media is so biased, single-sided and focused on the bad things...probably, because scandals bring clicks, views and sell better. Another thing most Westerners do not understand is that Saudi Arabia is changing and opening so drastically fast in the last 2 years, that any faster pace would break the fabric of the society.
Wow! All the beast dear! Thanks for your kind words.
I’m from Australia and honestly I think our media gives the Middle East a bad rap because the people who own the media want to keep us all apart.If we are all divided then they can manipulate and lie to us but if we all were united they would not have so much power.Sadly too many people believe everything their told instead of seeing the bigger picture and thinking for themselves.Good luck with your new business🙌🏻
I'm American and I live in Laos in southeast Asia. We are China's next door neighbor. China is the biggest market in the world. I am here in Laos because it's a great location to do business with China. With the new Laos-China railway, we can export to China across the borders quickly and cheaply. It's a smart move for our company to relocate to Laos.
Person-to-person diplomacy can change the world. Thanks for increasing my understanding and appreciation Peter.
Joe Mancini We as Saudi do not have anything against American citizens. We respect and welcome them because this is our tradition. Politicians are playing their nations and they care only about money and power. Saudi people really feel happy and honored when they meet new people, we love to invite them, and it’s in our DNA 🧬...
Thanks for being part of this Joe :)
It is the politicians in the West who create terrorism and the terrorists.
I love Saudi Arabia. People are very kind heart. Specially in Ramadan month, they everyday provide food the huge peoples after fasting over.
Ramadan is the best day of the month to learn about Islamic culture .. the month of prayer, fasting and feeding the poor
And scientific lessons and going for Umrah
Peter, if you come to Saudi Arabia during the month of Ramadan, you will see another world in the mosques of the Kingdom Ha
Hello Peter it's been a pleasure for having you on our country, and thank you for showing the real Saudi Arabia for whole world, hopefully we see you soon 💚.
Thanks, Tymo :)
I was so happy to see his videos on your country. It is beautiful, but I am not surprised. I'd had some FB Saudi friends in 2011, but moved around and lost track of them. From Abha. I gathered from them there was so much we just didn't know !! Love to you guys, from Texas
I really hope YT algorithm would present this video at the top when people are looking up Saudi Arabia,
because you did such a good job reading the culture and not just scratching the surface.
Everything you said is on point.
Coming from a Saudi guy.
Everyone is Welcome 💚❤💚❤
Thank you!
And your wish is granted YT is showing it at top i just searched saudi vlogs and i foud it at the top
الله يجزاه خير نقل اللي شافه بكل حب وصدق ❤️👍🏻

I worked in Saudi Arabia as a railroad engineer I have seen the country from top to bottom.
If you respect them you'll see and do things no one will believe
I want to travel to Saudi Arabia after watching your vlogs!! The people seem so welcoming, friendly and nice!
Loved your Saudi series! I'm mexican that lived in Athens for a while, where I met a Saudi gentleman, the most kind and wonderful person have ever met! Thank you so much Pete!!!
Hola, how did you end up in Athens? Viva Mexico!
ونحن شعب طيب ومحترم وايضا كرماء🌹🌹 ونتمنى الخير للجميع💜 ولا تصدق✋ مايقال من الكذب والافتراء عن وطني🇸🇦 السعودية بلد السلام ومنبع الاسلام💚
Much love to you, man ❤️
You’re video should be on CNN, Fox-news, and other media because we feel very misrepresented in worldwide media.
You’re one of the most genuine respected vlogger on UA-cam who visited my country. They’re many vloggers who are now invited to Saudi Arabia, and they seem getting some benefits from it to say something nice about the country. However, seeing your channel here, you are really doing what you’re preaching. It’s always about people not politics. People love and respect each other naturally. Of course they’re different cultures that someone may not agree with and that’s okay as long as it’s respected. I feel like many politicians playing their nations across the world. They’re put under fear to justify their actions when it’s all about power and money.
Again thank you very much for visiting Saudi Arabia and I hope you comeback soon. 🇸🇦❤️🇺🇸

Well Said Saeed.
MY OPINION IS TO STAY OFF MAIN STREAM MEDIA, PETER HAS PROBABLY KNOWN THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME. KEEP IT REAL PETE, YOUR DOING IT RIGHT
شكرا لك على اختيارك السعودية وأتمنى تسافر مره اخرى
Thank you for choosing Saudi Arabia and I hope you travel again❤️
❤️💚
As someone who lives in the US and grew up in Saudi, it always amazes me that there were so many American expats in living/working Saudi, yet also many Americans here only assume of Saudi based on what they hear on the media. Watching your Saudi series, I'm glad to see the country is progressing and I would be happy to visit again for the childhood nostalgia and see the places I missed out on while there!
I went to work in Saudi Arabia in 1978-80, a young single blue eyed blonde nurse. My first year was in Khamis Mushayt just 12 miles from Abha and really enjoyed your segment on that area of the Asir province The highways have definitely improved and the area has definitely developed. I then spent my last year in Jeddah and recognized many parts of the old city-it has become so modernized, Thank you for taking me on a trip down memory lane .
Been there 3 times and by far the safest country in the world, minimal crime and beautiful scenery and it's TRUE people are very hospitable something you will never I mean never experience
Minimal crime? are you joking? check out the figure or ask people who lives there for years. You can't even walk in some streets safely especially at night, there are plenty of homicides and the crime rate is increasing day by day. Do not speak blunders if you don't know the facts. It was a great series, but still I say Saudi is a country where human rights have no values, religion rules there and it fucked up most people's lives.
@@anwarsadique5873 my family lives there, I don't like the house of Saud but the crime level in Saudi is less than other countries
Justice bro, you got any statistics? If you don’t have , how can you compare such information with rest of the countries. Do you have the crime list of all the nations ? and you must know that many things are hidden in Saudi Arabia because there is no journalism and media in there . You do not know anything about Saudi and just blabbering now. I just want to tell you that I lived there almost 5 years and life in Saudi is like you locked up in jail. Crime rate is extreme there , many of my fiends had terrible incidents and thieves even attacked our apartment many times. Many innocent people lost lives cos of the worst law and order system in Saudi . Get some knowledge and talk to me.
@@anwarsadique5873 what's the point giving you references you will never except it, my cousin brother is my evidence however you will say that's ridiculous so therefore see western point of view below
Crime in Saudi Arabia is relatively low when compared to some developed nations, but may be increasing due to higher levels of foreign workers and higher levels of unemployment among Saudi residents."
- John Wilson, on the crime situation in Saudi Arabia, in the book International Security and the United States: An Encyclopedia
@@anwarsadique5873
Here's another, saudi is 111th position. But still not enough evidence for you is it.

Your Saudi Arabia series was absolutely amazing and has inspired me to begin thinking about planning a trip. Thank you for your hard work, insights and humor.
You are more than welcome
Please come, you’re most welcome
If you come to Riyadh .. let me know !! I'll arrange the hotel for you with cheap price
Cool :)
You are welcome bro ..
Thank you Peter for showing all the kindness and happiness to the world. Please tell all your friend about Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 I hope we will see you again🇸🇦❤️🇸🇦❤️
Im working there before in Saudi..its nice that you've vlog about KSA!.The country's that I would never forget!!! I'm watching from day 1..😘🎆☕☕ I missed Shawarma and cabsa!
Loujaime GB 🤣🤣💙
We can send you cabsa by DHL😜
😅
Loujaime GB 😂😂😂😂😂
I can make a cabsa for you
abdullah alghamdi i work in DHL just bring the cabsa to me and I’ll send it for free 😁
I felt sad because your journey ended. Thank you for conveying our true culture to the world, and we look different from what the media shows. I really hope that you enjoyed every moment you spent in our country and loved the people and dealt with you. I don’t know what happened behind the camera, but I thank you very much for conveying this positive image and I hope to return again at times Many to come and thank you very much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦
Yeah, it was an amazing journey :) And not at all like I thought it would be. Thank you :)
@@PeterSantenello Good experience, but I wished you could:
1. Explanation of the philosophy of Islam from one of the sheikhs of Saudi Arabia (for the Western world to understand what Islam is)
2. The civilizational, cultural and literary value of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Because the Western world insults and insults Islam and does not know anything about it, and they believe that Saudi Arabia is just a desert and has no great cultural heritage.
I worked in Saudi Arabia for 7 years and I found the Saudi guys very helpful and friendly they are welcoming and nice out of all the guys I met,
I was once working on a wellsite in the desert and the Aramco foreman offered me out for tea in the evening in the town of Hotat and what a lovely evening I had just talking to the guy having our tea and Arabic cakes, I will always remember this moment in my time there.
I'm from Kuwait, right next to Saudi, even tho I know most things about the cultural aspect and I have been there multiple times, I'm taking notes on some of the places you visited that I didn't even know about. Also I liked how respectful, open minded and your unbiased perspectives in general was. Great series and you're an awesome guy, keep the good work.
Thanks Yfufe!
Loved your Saudi vlog! I teach online and most of my students are from Saudi Arabia. It’s been so refreshing to meet such loving and kind-hearted people. I too hope to visit Saudi Arabia one day!
What do you teach on line?
I'm going to Saudi Arabia for the first time this Saturday, for two weeks to visit my parents who have worked there for five years. I think the clothing for women is pretty relaxed now, our mum just told us to wear whatever we want as long as we are covered, no need to wear a hijab.
Really looking forward to going, your videos have been very eye-opening.
Jessica Fernandez hey Jess u look pretty what’s ur Instagram?
Wow that’s awesome, and also you’re going during winter which I think it’s the best time to visit and explore the country. Safe trip! And you’re welcome in Saudi Arabia!
Enjoy your trip!
People not politics oughta be trending! You’re a real one, Peter.
Saudi Arabia is a beautiful country
We all love it
شكرا السيد بيتر على قيامك بنقل صورة مشرفة عن بلادنا ونحن نرحب بأي زائر يمكنه القدوم للسعودية ومن أي بلد نحن لسنا على خلاف مع الأشخاص بغض النظر عن الخلافات السياسية فنحن نستقبل الزوار الإيرانيين وغيرهم الكثير من جميع أنحاء العالم .... لا يسعني الآن إلا أن أقول مرحبا بكم في المملكة العربية السعودية
Donald Trump كل زقك 😂
صدقت السعودية اكثر بلد مظلوم اعلاميا و للأسف ان حتى العرب اللي همه أخوان لنا يصدقون ما يقال عنا ، الشعب السعودي ابسط و اطيب شعوب الخليج احترمه فقط يحطك على راسه طول عمره
This was such a great series! Thanks for making these videos.
Thanks Daniel :)
When I was a kid I always wanted to be a Jedi knight. But getting the lightsaber is super difficult. So now thanks to Pet santelli`s brave inspiration I plan to travel to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and enroll in a martial arts school and become a Jeddah knight. Far more realistic of a goal.
Yes!
Peter, you did a great job filming these videos, as you have said Saudi is really misunderstood and we surely love our royals they were the reason we are united after Allah.
Murshed Alharby 👏🏼
I won't say I love em, a lot of corruption but I guess with MBS even though he made dumb mistakes he also changed so many things in a short period of time and its an interesting time in Saudi
so the good shit MBS did I feel outweigh the bad things
They are your absolute rulers so you better love them or at least say that you do.
I love the invitation to tea at the end of last video- it shows that people in SA are generally very kind and hospitable.
I’ve traveled the globe and Saudi Arabia is always on my list. Thanks for your tips and the series. Travel should always be about respect, humility and appreciation for other cultures. I liked how you picked up more of the language at the end. 👍🏼
I've been watching your Saudi Arabia series since day one.
This is a Saudi sponsored propaganda brought to you by Peter since day 1
Thanks Leigh!
This was such a balanced review brother. Salaam from Canada.
I am very sad to see this amazing series comes to an end. What i really admired is that you never hesitated to blend with people and find out about their true culture, you went to places a tourist would never go to.
Thank you for this hella of a journey!
Thanks, Rabah :)
الله يسعدكك وحياكك الله حتنورنا بكل وقت 😻👏🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🤍
I really really respect your brain and how you think.
"Don't walk in with your muddy boots" great phrase 👍
Peter Santello's Saudi Arabia vlogs are the Best I've ever seen! I can't wait to see more of his travels.
Now I have an online reference to give to people who have the wrong picture of SA, much love and respect to you man ❤️
Thanks for your video series about Saudi. I just found it, and between your trip and now, we have a pandemic that disrupted so many things. However, your videos show many things people don't know and don't believe when they haven't been here. I live in Saudi now for more than 2 years and can only confirm what you have experienced. From all the places I have been to so far globally, this is the most hospitable place, and everybody is really open and kind. More than once, I have been invited for a coffee or dinner by strangers who were just curious from where I come - I haven't experienced that anywhere else to such an extend. And yes, things are changing so quickly - I really look forward to experiencing what happens over the next decade. Thanks to your videos, I now know some more places I have to explore.
Travel reports like yours help to overcome stereotypes and connect the world - thanks for that good work!
The beauty of this guy is he can make conversation with anyone and listen. Really listen.. thats awesome man.
Just want to say thank you to take us there! Such an amazing country. I will never be able to go there so I can see it in your videos 😉😊
Why not ??
I hope you can. You’re more than welcome!
Why can’t you?
Why ☹️
شكراً بيتر نحنا سعيدين لانك زرت السعودية ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Peter, Saudi Arabia has developed very, very noticeably during the past two years that you were in and became a tourist and many tourists there. Now come to it to see, I am sure that you will be surprised. I hope you will see my comment and come really again because it has become like another country in a limited period of time. Thank you Peter for all his progress ❤️❤️ We love you
Western media is just awful man truly.
There is ironically more freedom in the desert than in a Western country.
@@arcadia1081 lol
But they dont have a monopoly on bad news.
Soon people will truly understand who the true good guys are after all.

Dear Peter Santenello,
It was an honer for us that such gentleman like you visited our great country, we hope you came back after some years to be a outsider eye on the changes happened in our country.
I hope for you plenty of health, wealth and happiness for you and your beloved ones.
Thank you again.
والله اني اليوم شاهدت جميع الحلقات التي صورتها بالسعوديه وانا أصبحت من اكثر المعجبين بيك
The best place I ever visited it’s Saudia Arabia people are too kind
Really loved this video. I am just 5 months to saudi. Previously I had misconception about saudi and their culture from biased informations. However I have been happy ever since I get here and I am started to loving this holy place.
Regarding safety, praise be to God, my country is very safe, and there are bad people because we are human and people everywhere there is bad and good, and I wish you and any person to meet good people anywhere in the world🙏🏻
I’ve been watching your Saudi Series since the Day 1, and I would love to thank you a lot Peter for actually making people realize and understand the true side and color of Saudi Arabia, specially the westerners. I’m from Dammam on the eastern part of the kingdom. Hoping to see you some day. In’sha’Allah. Good luck. Cheers. ❤️
Salaam! Hey did they ever rebuild Shula Mall? Everyone in Al Khobar went there! :) I lived at KFUPM.
Thanks, Saahil!
Peter Santenello, do visit India sometime. Let me know brother. I’m an Indian brought up in Saudi since childhood. I’ll surely love to meet you anywhere in Saudi/India. 🤗
Jeremy Stocks nuh! Still empty since the fire. We used to have a pharmacy store out there.
I hope you enjoyed your time in Saudi Arabia, and we would like to see you again ❤️.
That video series was spiritual bro. Totally opened my eyes to how warm that culture is. Saudi is now on my list of places to visit. Great series Peter!
Cool :) Thank you Country Clubbing. Yeah, you should go. I appreciate your continued support.
u r most wellcome
did you leave? We will miss your videos. I wish you a happy life. Thank you for coming here.

I have learned two things from the Saudi Arabia series
1. The Saudi people are so warm, welcoming and not at all like the stereotype we see in Western Media
2. Peter has a very large cranium thats hard to be contained by traditional Saudi headware 😁
Because he is so smart 🤭
Priceless! 😂😂😂
Lol! a little humor helps.
Major love for every single word you put in describing Saudi Arabia. You are truly a respectful guy.
Love Saudi people from tabriz north Iran🕋🕋
Thanks

Welcom Any Time
I'm Saudi and loved the way you introduced the country.. the best thing in your videos that they are original..thanks for your visit the nice words you shared ❤
Thank you Peter i am a Saudi and i enjoyed watching my Country from your vlog. I appreciate my country alot and you reminded why.
سيد بيتر شكرا لكلامك اللطيف والصادق عن السعوديه انا احبك 💜
I lived in Jeddah from 93-99. My jaw dropped seeing this. Makes me want to go back again....I loved the life there. I had a business importing American things. I cant even imagine the way it would be to do business there now. Great job Peter.
What a great and genuine experience
Thank you for this very open up and well documented videos...Can't wait to go...
You’re welcome Chloe 👍🏻🌹
I hope to get to meet friendly people and make new friends like you did in Saudi Arabia
You will if you go in with respect and curiosity.
So much respect for you
Thank you Peter, i hope this video became a trend in all over the world on youtube.
This video made my day!
This is Saudi Arabia, the country of Islam and peace.

from SAUDI ARABIA and thank you for honest Opinion
*Welcome for U and everyone in Saudi Arabia pro♥️*
I really hope you can go on Joe Rogan, talk about your travels, especially Saudi Arabia. As a Saudi American, video vloggers such as yourself makes it easier for people to change their perspective. Especially when the media is toxic and has an agenda.
I really hope everyone in America watches this serious
I think this is the best showcase of modern Saudi Arabia I’ve ever heard
شكرا ي بيترا استمتعان معك في الرحله الجميله نشوفك لحقانا
Ur vlogs in Saudi were the besstt u beat them all
Saudi Arabia is your second Home💚💚
Fantastic series. Learned a lot.
I dont trust MSM. Series like this show what I feel is the truth.
Thanks
Jazakallahu khairan ❤️❤️
Happy to see vloggers like yourself spreading /correcting the real image of Saudi Arabia. Great coverage and glad you had a good time.
I watched your entire series on Saudi Arabi and I loved it, so glad that they are allowing tourism now. I would like to visit there, it looks very interesting a contrast between an outgoing and a new modernized tradition.
Having watched your entire Saudi Arabia series, and As a Saudi couldn't agree more with every thing you mentioned.
Thank a million Peter.
Thanks for being part of this journey :)
Thanks Peter for being honest
My advice to anyone considering going to Saudi? Watch this playlist from beginning to end then promise yourself you will try to visit avery place that Peter did. You will really enjoy your time there, the tremendous varieties of scenery and the amazing friendliness of the Saudis.
Wonderful videos! From distant Argentina , I was able to learn more about this interesting country. We are not anti-Arab here (as the US is) but we certainly don't know much about these countries. It's good to learn 💛💚🧡
Thanks Susana! Is the US anti-Arab though? Sure there are racist idiots everywhere but I've known many Arabs in the US who've said they've been well received and have done quite well in the country. Careful with news especially these days, everyone has an agenda, including me! Mine is to show the world in a more open way. I'm glad you're finding Arab countries interesting. The Arab world has something special that can only be felt there.
@@PeterSantenello
Yes, seen from here, US is definitely anti-Arab, even more since 9/11. I think it also influences Protestantism and its theological vision of Israel, that generates anti-Arabism
But hopefully it is as you say only a wrong perception.
In Latin America, we have from Spain the Moorish and Arab heritage, which is nostalgically evoked as a golden age
Again, I really liked your videos 😊
@@PeterSantenello hey peter Im saudi and I’ve lived in Florida and Louisiana for 5 years and let me tell you I have experienced 0 racism and guess what my mom also wears a hijab for 5 years in the US , 0 problems at all
