    Welcome to our beautiful country. I am sure that you will spend a beautiful time in Saudi Arabia because of its different terrain and the diversity of its cities. I hope you explore it well and search for the most beautiful places such as Mount Edge of the World. I am located in the city of Abha, which is located in the south of Saudi Arabia, and I will be your tour guide for free. If you want to come, I will invite you to dinner.

    Welcome to Saudi Arabia bro! Thanks for the beautiful video!
    As to the security in the area at 7:00 it is because one of the buildings with old designs in that area is the Principality & Police headquarters, and its where government officials & diplomats tend to go.
    And you’ll find more tourist areas in north of Riyadh, it’s the modern part of the city, the south of Riyadh, where you filmed, its the ancient/old part of the city. So, it’s rare to find many people there.
    I hope you have a great time! 🇸🇦❤🇦🇷

    I worked for a year in Saudi in the mid-80s. A cheerless, dead sterile place. A virtual police state. Riyadh was, to put it politely, an uninspiring city. Glad to hear it's changing though I bet the police state is still there, just a little more hidden.
