Discover the real NEOM - Come and visit Saudi Arabia!

This is the story of my road trip to the northern area of Saudi Arabia called Tabuk, which is also the site of the new futuristic city of NEOM.
If you have never been to Saudi Arabia now is a great time to visit.
It's September 2020! After months of lockdown, covid restrictions and an international flight ban, we decided to embark on a road trip across north west Saudi Arabia within the regions of Tabuk and Al Madinah.
Covering almost 1300 km in 5 days, we would experience the challenges of this unforgiving environment.
Our journey began with a two hour flight from King Fahad International Airport in Dammam to Tabuk Regional Airport where we collected our car rental for the trip, a Chevrolet Tahoe, a vehicle that would be severely tested on several occasions.
Throughout the trip we would visit some amazing historical sites, geological wonders and areas of natural beauty. All in a car hopelessly ill equipped to handle the rough environment.
Although we didn't initially plan on any off-road driving, we found ourselves in some tricky situations on several occasions.

@@smallplanetpix Thanks a lot! keep uploading great vids!

Very good video and channel. Subscribed. I saw some clips from the Sharaan area in Al Ula. I guess, these are old clips as this area is now restricted. Please clarify. Best wishes for your channel.

[@smallplanetpix]

Thanks for the comment. The trip to al ula was back in September 2020 with an organised tour guide who took us through the al raggasat canyon. I think this is now part of the sharaan reserve.

[@robertapisani8535]

Hello, thank you for the beautiful video! Could you share the contact of the guide in AlUla? Thanks
