We Went To Saudi Arabia.

  • In today's episode, we take you along on one of our craziest trips so far. Never in a million years did we think we'd go to Saudi Arabia this soon. Then, all of a sudden, we decided to just do it.
    We were hesitant to go given all we’ve read about the country.
    During our journey to 100 countries and beyond, we will undoubtedly visit countries where we don’t agree with certain laws or practices, and personally, we don’t want this to stop us from going.
    After all, how can we build understanding if we refuse to meet people, or are not open-minded enough to talk to someone who might disagree with us? We need more understanding, respect, and international cooperation, not greater divides.
    Our intention has always been to use our platform as a personal diary to look back on, and we want to take every opportunity we can to grow and learn more about the world.
    More videos from Saudi Arabia coming soon!🇸🇦
    Thank you for always supporting us and being the best people on the planet🌍❤️

    We are Oskar & Dan, two boys from Sweden who decided to change the course of our lives, drop out of university and live life full-time. We're planning to visit every country in the world eventually, with an initial goal of 100 before the end of 2022. By the time of posting this video, we're both 24 :)
    Saudi Arabia was country #83/197🌍
    Thank you for watching!🙏😍❤️

    As a Saudi, I resist watching these videos, I thought it would be another misrepresentation video, but I really enjoyed this! You know how to spend your time.
    P.s: regarding the visa and what you had to sign, I wish you could see what we go through as Saudis to apply for American visas, we are treated like guilty until proven otherwise, and when we’ve arrived to NYC, people rudely took pictures of us because we were wearing abayas.
    In short, misrepresentation from both sides.

    "Why most of the places are deserted, like no one else is there" -> It's because of the hot weather, most people stay indoors during the day until 6pm-7pm. People usually goes out at round 7pm-8pm especially after Isha prayer. Stores closes at around 12AM. During Ramadan, stores closes at around 5AM.

    I moved to KSA two years ago with my Saudi husband. All in all, it is a very safe country and the people are very welcoming. I was pretty confused too when I first moved here about why the people are not as active during the day, but I believe it is because 1. the weather, 2. prayer times, and 3. they are just night owls. And just like in the U.S. there are nice parts and not so nice parts. As well as some areas being more conservative than others. But the nightlife is great! And they are big on mocktails, you'll find them everywhere. I love changing peoples perceptions about Saudi, considering most people in the U.S. only know things from the news or film portrayal's. You guys are changing a lot of peoples perceptions!

    As a Persian, I thought the scene at 23:30 was epic. Those vast valleys have millions of prehistoric tales to tell. Just purely from a geological standpoint, imagine times here when the planet was completely different! When that valley was a lake and with a high-oxygen atmosphere supporting dinosaurs & giant snails to roam here. And Oskar, I heard you say yall love mountains. If so, you're also welcome to check them out as guests in Iran. *Asalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh to Saudis from an Iranian

I really would love to visit Saudi Arabia. The desert mountains looked amazing... some really nice clips you filmed there. I will have to find a good friend from Saudi Arabia who can be my guide, but definately your video has inspired me and I have elevated Saudi Arabia to quite high on my to do list for the next year or so.... I love the way you guys present yourselves, both in your travel videos and on your airline reviews as well. Keep it up.

    As someone who does not like to interfere in politics, but who encourages social openness, what Mohammed bin Salman has done during these short years deserves to be applauded. I will not listen to the Western media because it operates according to agendas and political parties. What I see is that the Saudis are happy and proud, they breathe freedom, entertainment and fun and love the Crown Prince, so why do Western newspapers attack them? Saudi Arabia has become a promising tourist destination, and with the end of the mega projects, it will have a global stature. I have already visited AlUla and have never found such a magical place in my life besides the generosity and love that the Saudis offer me.

    Regarding your question about the Mall, so this is one of the oldest malls in Saudi Arabia and especially in Riyadh ( Mool AlMamlakah or Mall of Kingdom ) and the reason why no one or only few people go there is that there are newer and more modern styled malls such as AlNakheel Mall and Riyadh Park and soon enough there will be one the largest malls in the world which is Saudia Mall. I'm pretty sure Faisal did his best showing you around, I wish he could have showed you Hanifa Valley one of the most beautiful areas we go to in the winter where we camp there, also Riyadh Front which is like a long path with restaurants, cafes, and stores. As a Saudi, I can proudly say that we have come a long way and I hope to see my country the number 1 destination for tourists !

    For some reason I thought you have already been to Saudi Arabia. I must have combined all your other Middle East country adventures and assumed that you've been to all the places. And I think I always assumed that all the Middle East countries had this level of restrictions and always found it interesting how freely you have traveled to Qatar, UAE, etc. As a woman I have been interested in how it would be to travel to Middle East countries. Your nervousness around Saudi Arabia travel are what I assumed my experience for all travel to the Middle East would be. This was really so informative.
