I think majority of middle eastern counties are like this. I believe that many Middle Eastern countries are being criticized by Western countries just because of their Muslim beliefs and their disapproval of LGBT issues, which is mentl ilness lol. The Western countries often claim that these countries oppress women, but sorry to let you know, they are not. The women in these countries are exceptionaly happy. They are all virgin, and can only have sex when they are married. they all have children, and come from large families. On the other hand, in Western countries, it's considered normal for parents to allow their children to get drunk on saturday night in clubs and get aboused by pimps all night long. by the time they are 25, majority of them have a body counts of at leaset 100 and its still completly normal. The divorce rate is sky rocketting, no one wants to be married, children are getting born fatherless becasut its again norma for them and they call it single mum smh. There is litterly no morality, no dignity. When the parents get old they send them to nursing homes and the kids that were once loved by those parents unconditionally don't even care anymore. These are just some of the stuff I am seeing here in New Zealand and I am in Aww of how no one really thinks that these socites are going in a very bad direction. I am genuinely curious about where Western society will be in about 100 years.

1:16 one thing you should know, is Saturday in Saudi is the equivalent of Sunday in the West. This is because the next day (Sunday) is the start of the work week, while Thursday is the end of the work week. Friday and Saturday are the weekend.
Welcome to my country. We are glad to have you here and thank you for showing the beauty of Jeddah city, the hospitality and kindness of Saudi people. Things are changing rapidly regarding tourism and I just wanted to give some comments and tips: 1. Summer is very hot in most of the cities - even for us as locals - except in few cities in the southern region. So most of the people will not go out until sunset. In the morning or afternoon you'll find them either in malls or closed restaurants with air conditioning. 2. Public transportation is not well established, so you either have to rent a car or use Uber or taxis. Walking is not a choice and most of the roads are not walking friendly. 3. Shops and restaurants are not forced now to close during prayer times. It's optional and depends on the owners. And if you are inside a shop or restaurant during prayer time you are free to leave anytime. No body should keep you inside. 4. Always check google maps and social media for the place you want to visit to make sure it's open and that you don't need to make a reservation. It's better also to give them a call before going out. 5. You can wear whatever you want but of course with modesty. Shorts are allowed for men. Women are not forced to cover their hair or to wear abaya. 6. Arabic coffee tastes different, it's usually presented everywhere as a welcome drink, it's polite to drink at least one cup but after that you can apologize for not having a 2nd cup. In our tradition, if you don't refuse drinking the host will keep pouring coffee for you a cup after another. 7. Always ask locals about the best restaurants and places. Most of the information on the internet is outdated. We wish you a pleasant stay and can't wait for the coming exciting vlogs!
I personally prefer Jeddah over Riyadh, but I have to admit the small cultural differences.... Maybe in Jeddah we women are not forced to wear the traditional Saudi clothes, but in Riyadh be sure we do!!! We gotta wear traditional Abaya 👘 and Hejab on 🧕🏼 with the small difference that it can be in any colour and shape we choose, not necessarily the traditional Black ones as I myself have and wear 🖤 And, about the traditional Arab Qahwa ☕...... Yanni.... I already know it. We must shake it off a little bit after we drink it as a sign that we are full, happy and satisfied with their hospitality and no need for more Arab Qahwa and so, in order they stop filling the glass up ☕ I know that tradition too long time ago, because I love Arab Badou culture 👳🏻♂️ ❤ (which is the same culture) 😉 Btw.... My favourite culture is Arab Badou culture 💕
Are u serious buddy, you do honor these non believers to this extent. You know they don't treat us as well in Europe n America.. etc. Specially when he gave them all that dates n delights for free, I stop watching right there. Go to them n check out how they're with u, guys, with ur own eyes, then come back n edit this cmt here. Salamo asylum.
I'm from the UK born and bred from Nottingham, and Muslim, travelled to many countries around the world (over 35 countries to be precise). And been to Saudi Arabia 5 times either for Umrah or Hajj pilgrimage to Makkah (and Madinah) but I did stay in Jeddah for 3 nights on one of the Umrah trips and Corniche is definitely my favourite part of Jeddah. And yes I went to Masjid Ar Rahma (The Floating Mosque), There is another floating mosque in Malaysia called the Melaka Strait Mosque in Melaka which I went to as well. Many locals tend to come out at after sunset but during the day you will barely see anyone around - however there wasn't that many locals in the evening in your video - I'm pretty sure there are normally more than that
This is a lovely look into Saudi Arabia and I love to hear the Azan, the Islamic Call To Prayer - it reminds me of the Angelus Bell at Midday & 6pm from our local Catholic Church when I go home to my family, where I grew up in a rural area in the Republic of Ireland, even though I’ve lived here in Manchester U.K. for 21 years - the shopping mall is giving me vibes of both the Blanchardstown Centre in Dublin and the Trafford Centre here in Manchester
I worked in SA for almost 5 years and have a good idea of life , people . But you should take a trip to Abha , its truely a unique place and worth a visit
We Saudis don’t go out throughout the day as it’s extremely hot, but we rather prefer dusk & evening time that’s when all these places get crowded Also, I highly recommend the downtown (Al balad) for a walkable & deeply historic tour
In Jeddah, there are many of the most beautiful voices of mosque imams who recite the Qur’an in a very beautiful voice. If I had a suggestion, I would have said try asking permission to watch the dawn prayer at the King Fahd Mosque in Jeddah
Jeddah has the worst weather in summer in Saudi 😩 it’s final exams period these days too and everyone is home studying 😂 if you’re staying a little longer in Saudi I recommend you visiting Abha if want nicer weather, nature and so on, And of course I recommend you visiting Riyadh as it is the capital and most changes are happening there. And welcome to Saudi 🤍

I hope you enjoyed visiting Jeddah as well. I hope you visit Abha, Taif, and the cool places in the summer, not Jeddah, because it is very hot, and the times for Saudis are after six o'clock in the evening. Welcome to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.❤
Close to where I originally come from in my native Republic of Ireland, a Saudi Prince owns a horse stud farm in my native County of Meath where I still have extended family - I know that the British Royal Family here in the U.K. love horses just as much as we Irish do 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧❤️
WELCOME IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA🤗🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦❤️ ENJOY YOUR STAY, DELICIOUS FOOD,AWESOME PLACES AND OUR LOVELY AND FRIENDLY AND THE AMAZING HOSPITALITY OF THE SAUDI PEOPLE HERE IN THE KINGDOM😘
Where is your hospitality towards jews? Can I practice Judaism and visit an ancient Jewish temple in Arabia? Do you support Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords? If not, then where is the hospitality?
why are you crying,its politics that what you are talking about? have you been to saudi arabia?,and i am not arab but i stay in Saudi Arabia for more than a decade now.WHAT I HAVE SAID IS BASE ON MY OWN,MY FAMILY AMD MY FRIENDS EXPERIENCED IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA AND TOWARDS THE SAUDI PEOPLE MOSTS ESPECIALLY TO MY SAUDI CO WORKERS FOR MORE THAN A DECADES THEY BEEN TREATING ME LIKE THEIR OWN BROTHER EVEN IM A...CRISTIAN!THATS WHY I RESPECT THIS PEOPLE SO MUCH! You been watching to much BIASED JOURNALISMS OR NEWS ABOUT SAUDI ARABIA.come and visit the kingdom and you will see what i am talking about.🤗
@@GIVI727 I read in Quora and many other places that they don't tolerate Jews in Saudi Arabia. Christianity is not legal at all in Saudi Arabia. I'm glad to hear they treated a Christian well. Do you have evidence that they were nice to jews? We are an ethnic people group who they don't like. Muhammad told them how to feel about Jews as an ethnic people group, I don't think they are looking for a 2nd opinion.
@@GIVI727 It's about race more so than it is about politics or religion. Muhammad killed all Jews who won't convert to Islam. Saudi Arabia considers jews as enemies. It's racism. Christianity is just a religion. Jews are a race of people who were ethnically cleansed in Arabia. Do you understand the difference?
But unfortunately, when they come to Saudi Arabia, the kiss of Muslims watch parties, festivals, mixing of girls, men and prostitution, which is supposed to be the role model of the Islamic world.
This part of the Cornish is not busy, the part where the aquarium is located is busy even 2 pm. You will see most people jogging or biking at around 7 am. Also it’s final exams for schools and universities. Also most families gather at the grandparents house for lunch in the weekend, in my family we do that. I am glad you had the chance to discover part of the city.
This is fantastic KSA is on my list some day. Thank you for sharing. The no one else walking 😂 reminded me of when I went to Wadi Musa, Jordan (where Petra is located) and I just wanted to walk and get lost between alleys and didn't see others walking but I needed to be In the moment as I walked around Wadi Musa, the hills, and it was Fabulous actually stayed there for 3 months 😂 it was incredible ✨ hope to visit again there too.
Welcome guys in Jeddah , be aware busy days are Thursday and Friday from 6PM until 3AM next day be aware there is I think week holiday coming next week and it get really busy all week, in addition for I recommend to visit albalad (old Jeddah) district after 6 pm
Hello, my name is dolmacy .I am from India, but now I am working 10 years. Saudi arabia . Saudi Arab most beautiful country. Saudi people so nice and wonderful hospitality...Welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 ❤🙏🙏🙏
Very enjoyable and very different . I love an atmosphere so hopefully it gets a bit busier . At least they have made a real effort as you can get the taste of a beer but without the alcohol lol loved the vide Thankyou both 👍
Jeddah is a night city! People will start going out from the evening up until morning. Because of the hot climate. That's why Many shops, restaurants, malls etc will stay open till late night.
Thank you so much for visiting my country and i hope you have a good time ❤ but the best time for visiting Saudi Arabia are december, January, February and March for great weather
Molly said that chicken place opened in 1974 with such confidence. Then Matt totally busts her and calls her out. You guys are funny and make a great team.
Welcome to Saudi Unfortunately the weather during the summer is pretty horrible just like the rainy north of the UK Usually people prefer to visit the southern part of Saudi during summer Abha Baha namas etc If u planning to visit the capital I will be happy to be ur guide free of charge Enjoy Saudi and it’s lovely ppl Cheers
18:36 You would find a non-alcoholic Budweiser if you visit a supermarket. The area near the Corniche is really much like the Beverly Hills in California. There's a Boulevard that is very much similar to the famous Sunset Boulevard where all the highend luxury names could be found. The Western Housing compound where most Westerners live is actually like typical suburban America where homes are small and mid-sized, you would feel as if you're not in Saudi Arabia. These homes are used by Westerners who mostly work for ARAMCO or Boeing, and Lockheed.
I advise you to write the title of the videos on your channel in English and Arabic to attract Arab viewers on your channel. And thank you for showing our beautiful country in the best way ❤️❤️❤️
Nice Video as always 👍👍. I would suggest you travel to abha the weather is mild or you could go north and head East via Riyadh on to Bahrain across the causeway. Wish you guys a pleasant stay in KSA😊
Welcome to saudi, i recommend that you visit Jeddah from end of December to April this time of the year where locals be very active in outdoor areas because the weather is much colder and less humid than the summer.
This video is fantastic! I understand why people prefer to come out later in such hot weather. The music playing in the background at the Jeddah Corniche was performed on the Qanun, an Arabian string instrument popular in the region, including Egypt. It can sometimes be mistaken for the Guzheng or Guqin due to their similar sounds, but they are played in different scales.
Wow, saudi has opened a lot. Although… I haven’t been to Jeddah. I worked in Riyadh which was a very strict city. Surprised you don’t have to cover and wear abaya. Their weekend is thurs and friday. So sat is like monday to them. If you can try their brosted chicken and afnan. Enjoy!
Great video Guys ! 😀😀 It's not as much a walking culture . The Saudis love to drive and find their favorite spots , have a picnic and chill . The food is so delicious. What was your favorite go to food choice. Sending you much Love and Affection from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuk 🐕i🙏❤🙏 P.S. Matt, Chelsea is our favorite club.
it's not about the walking culture, the Saudi cities like many countries were designed for cars not pedestrians so the concept of walking wasn't even there, how ever later on many countries embraced the public transportation concept, that's why you'll find many (kind of) distorted cities around the world but they managed to recover. in saudi, the idea wasn't there untill 2014, riyadh metro was announced as a part of a bigger project called "king abdulaziz public transport project", it's set to start operating end of 2023. i guess we'll start walking LOL, welcome to saudi.
What`s with the food? The food markets in saudi are very bad & so are the food served in the restaurants only halal nonsense meaning chicken & fish in variations. Just nonsense.
@@Movingforward2000 what's the relation between halal and the food being bad ??. who told u we only serve chicken & fish, we are the the most red meat consuming county in the arab world.
Our prophet and islam taught us to show and treat people with pure kidness, the prophet once said just smiling at someone is charity and to want for your brother what you would want for yourself sad the way the media in the west portrays islam and muslims. But the world is becoming more aware mashallah hope you guys had a great time thank you!
The hotel restaurant was just as empty as eveywhere else. 10 years time it will hopefully be booming as it looks nice and the people seem really friendly.
That was superb !!! you guys came to my hood and didn't invite me to the dates shop 😋... my house is 30 seconds walking just right behind the shop.. anyways, at 1pm our weather is funny so try to be hydrated...have lots of 💧...BTW, a very good restaurant next to Sunset hotel called Hareed Restaurant... 5 min walking distance. Good luck mates 🎉
Restaurants don’t actually close during prayer time anymore. And when they years ago, if you were inside they let you stay and open the door for you when you want to leave haha
You guys are sooo funny hhaha...Seeing you both wondering around walking in the streets of Jeddah in that heat all alone . Most ppl out there sleep till 3pm and life begins after 7pm. 25:31
Actually life starts at 4pm, because all shops opens at that time however despite that, during working days, there are times where you will find most streets & even shops almost half empty, most of the crowd starts during weekends
8:53, in arabic places and islamic places in general, when a person or a tourist wants to try something they give them a taste test and also sometimes allow them to get something for free because its the first time they visit.
usually beacuse saturday its weekend day so alot must of the people are staying at home during the day probally sleeping and rest 😂 but u will see lots of crowded at night maybe and i can tell saudi people are more like night people also maybe beacuse of the weather cause during the day sun is strong in saudi arabia also i love how it can stay almost until 2pm busy and safe i live in riyadh and thats all i learned about their routine
In Saudi all shops open for tow shifts from 7:00 AM to 11:30 then they open from 3:30 PM or 4:00 PM until late night But coffee shops & restaurants are open from 6:00 AM until late night or most of them work 24/7 , but they close for 2 hours at Friday noon from 10 to 12 because all are going to pray
The city of Jeddah is more beautiful in winter and spring , but in summer it’s hot your choice of time to visit was a mistake .Jeddah is a wonderful city bro 😎
24:02 as a Saudi, I can confirm that vine leaves are not from here and no one would say that, but its something that we eat and make regularly, we even have a lot of vine leave shops
1:03 They go home and have a siesta :), like they do in southern Italy and Spain and others in the summer. just normal. Who the he ll wanna be in the street with 40c! Life there ends at 1 or 2 pm and starts again at 5 oclock afternoon I guess.
I visited Jeddah in March 2024 from California. I found it more beautiful and appealing than California. Islam is the best divine religion that God has bestowed Muslim countries.
Been to Saudi many times thru my job as an engineer on Ships, Jeddah was a great run ashore used to buy Seiko watches Sony Stereos etc were cheap Gold jewellery was cheap. I changed American dollars there my wages after leaving a ship and got the Bank exchange rate not the tourist rate. Saudi is safe you could leave you car door open with a gold watch left on the seat and no one would touch it.
Actually it's not safe leaving your car open with a jewel on the seat, we made this same mistake aroubnd years ago, & it got stolen So to anyone reading this, don't do this, you will cry once you lose stuff with high value
@@uhm175 Same thing here back in my land... 🙄 😓 I already lost not only once 1️⃣ but twice 2️⃣ silver rings 💍 inside the mall 🚾 🚺 washroom 🏬 that I left above the sink while I was washing my hands 🚿 👐🏻 with the soap 🧼 and I simply completely forgot them above the sink 🤦🏼♀️ 😓 and, as soon as I reminded them forgotten inside the 🚾 🚺 washroom above the sink and I immediately ran out like crazy after my silver rings 💍 inside it, I then immediately found - out and realized that I was robbed, my rings end - up stolen Forever‼️ They were simply gone 😔 Khalas 😭 💔
Basically you should go out at night because jeddawi people love the night lifestyle, in the weekdays morning people go to work and school and go out in the night and in weekdays mostly in the morning they sleep but they go out in the night, you should meet locals to understand how things work as you can find out more and more
Welcome to you and all others tourist to our country, i live in Jeddah, the life started after 4PM or something like this, because the weather is very hot and al lot of humidity here and that's why a lot of hang out in the evening, and now is the beginning of summer, little people was going to the cornish, the cornish is very busy at the winter ( it does not make sense, but here are the life in Saudi (: ), also you must visit Al-Balad and King Road there is a lot of Caffe and delicious restaurant, i forget something, the busy roads, cornish, cinema, etc... is in Thursday, and maybe Friday, but in Saturday, little go outside (: Again Welcome to you here
Always our country is great on winter as well and by the way the Riyadh season is going to start on 28 of October its craaaaazy u should visit or see the ad of the Riyadh season! Always better to connect woth locals cuz its going to be cheaper and fun and our hopitality is ammmaaaazing. U gonna get lots of free food😂
When i was in uk i used to see lots of people outside from 9am till 5 pm and sining and playing music and families on the park it’s beautiful and the weather is refreshing as well… its different here people go out on Thursday and stay up alll night until morning even drinking coffee at 12 am is normall for us .. most of us thats why we dont go out on Saturday cuz we have work in the morning we need to sleep and prepare ourselves for work Sunday morning and prepare the kids for school.
Regarding the transportation difficulties , i would say it would be better if you rent a car or talk to some locals to take you around the city and hangout. it would be cheaper and making new friends… people are friendly there.
When you drink Arabic coffee, you must hold the cup with your right hand. Drinking Arabic coffee tastes, art and sweetness, especially with the Arabic jug. Whoever does not know the falcon will roast it.
Do not waste your time in the center, go to the south of Saudi Arabia, Abha, and the mountains of the villages of Jizan, the atmosphere there is beautiful and the culture is different.
5:54 That Date is known as Ajwa. Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) liked Ajwa dates a lot and he planted the first tree of Ajwa Dates near the Quba Mosque in Madinah.

why are you crying,its politics that what you are talking about? have you been to saudi arabia?,and i am not arab but i stay in Saudi Arabia for more than a decade now.WHAT I HAVE SAID IS BASE ON MY OWN,MY FAMILY AMD MY FRIENDS EXPERIENCED IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA AND TOWARDS THE SAUDI PEOPLE MOSTS ESPECIALLY TO MY SAUDI CO WORKERS FOR MORE THAN A DECADES THEY BEEN TREATING ME LIKE THEIR OWN BROTHER EVEN IM A...CRISTIAN!THATS WHY I RESPECT THIS PEOPLE SO MUCH!
You been watching to much BIASED JOURNALISMS OR NEWS ABOUT SAUDI ARABIA.come and visit the kingdom and you will see what i am talking about.🤗
@@GIVI727 I read in Quora and many other places that they don't tolerate Jews in Saudi Arabia. Christianity is not legal at all in Saudi Arabia. I'm glad to hear they treated a Christian well. Do you have evidence that they were nice to jews? We are an ethnic people group who they don't like. Muhammad told them how to feel about Jews as an ethnic people group, I don't think they are looking for a 2nd opinion.
@@GIVI727 It's about race more so than it is about politics or religion. Muhammad killed all Jews who won't convert to Islam. Saudi Arabia considers jews as enemies. It's racism. Christianity is just a religion. Jews are a race of people who were ethnically cleansed in Arabia. Do you understand the difference?
@@GIVI727 An entire race of people, the Jews, are not allowed in Mecca. True or false?
We are happy to watch your videos in Saudi Arabia
Thank you!
Welcome in Saudi Arabia “Jeddah” 🇸🇦, I wish U a happy life 🥰
Thank you ♥️
هلا بالثقفي 🇸🇦🇸🇦
@@mjd1047 هلا فيك 🙏🏻❣️
Actually muslims from all over the world come to saudi arabia
Great!
But unfortunately, when they come to Saudi Arabia, the kiss of Muslims watch parties, festivals, mixing of girls, men and prostitution, which is supposed to be the role model of the Islamic world.
@@dabbleandtravel you lairs
So what's your point 🤔
@@dabbleandtravel how was your experience?❤️❤️
I love Saudi dates! Great to see you both exploring a place that is new on the tourism journey.
Thanks for watching!
Thank u for your showing your exploratioms n your 1st impressions of Jeddah. Wonderful.
Thanks for watching!
@@dabbleandtravel 😄
Do not forget to visit the city of Abha and Al-Baha, as they are cool cities and have beautiful mountainous nature.
Thank you!
I didnt go there but ive heard about it and seen in picture/video I hope they also went to abha
Gharbiyah Saudiya 🇸🇦 ♥️
I like your honesty and how you just enjoy your time even when you are confused why there's no body outhere😂
😂😂😂 thanks for watching!
In the south of Saudi Arabia the weather in the summer is cool and beautiful 🤍
Next time!
This part of the Cornish is not busy, the part where the aquarium is located is busy even 2 pm. You will see most people jogging or biking at around 7 am. Also it’s final exams for schools and universities. Also most families gather at the grandparents house for lunch in the weekend, in my family we do that. I am glad you had the chance to discover part of the city.
Thanks so much for watching!
I really loved the hospitality
👏👏👏
It was amazing!
Oh man that's incredible, i think based on the time i spent in KSA that people go out in thursday night the most.
Thanks for the comment!
Arabic hospitality is unmatched on earth
So true!
This is fantastic KSA is on my list some day. Thank you for sharing. The no one else walking 😂 reminded me of when I went to Wadi Musa, Jordan (where Petra is located) and I just wanted to walk and get lost between alleys and didn't see others walking but I needed to be In the moment as I walked around Wadi Musa, the hills, and it was Fabulous actually stayed there for 3 months 😂 it was incredible ✨ hope to visit again there too.
Oh wow, we’re the only ones crazy enough to walk 😂 thanks for watching!
Com visit the city of Al-Ula in Saudi Arabia similar to Patra, but Al-Ula is much more beautiful 🤍🇸🇦🤍
Welcome guys in Jeddah , be aware busy days are Thursday and Friday from 6PM until 3AM next day be aware there is I think week holiday coming next week and it get really busy all week, in addition for I recommend to visit albalad (old Jeddah) district after 6 pm
Thanks for watching!
You ABSOLUTELY need a car to visit Saudi Arabia. We worked there from 1986 to 2003 with a couple of gaps. The country is totally car/plane centric.
My father used to be taking me to masjid Al-rahma when i was a child so much meamoris back in the day
Welcome to my city Jeddah Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦❤
Hello, my name is dolmacy .I am from India, but now I am working 10 years. Saudi arabia . Saudi Arab most beautiful country. Saudi people so nice and wonderful hospitality...Welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 ❤🙏🙏🙏
Very enjoyable and very different . I love an atmosphere so hopefully it gets a bit busier . At least they have made a real effort as you can get the taste of a beer but without the alcohol lol loved the vide Thankyou both 👍
Lol always got to find something to drink 😉
Jeddah is a night city! People will start going out from the evening up until morning. Because of the hot climate. That's why Many shops, restaurants, malls etc will stay open till late night.
We’re slowly adjusting lol!
Thank you so much for visiting my country and i hope you have a good time ❤ but the best time for visiting Saudi Arabia are december, January, February and March for great weather
Thanks for watching! We were here in February 😉
تستطيع زيارة السعودية في اي وقت من السنة
فهي دولة مساحتها كبيرة وتضاريسها مختلفة
ولكن اختر المكان المناسب لكل فصل
I guess you can tell whose the tourist.... the one walking on the street. 😄 Good video. 👍 Cheers and stay safe. ❤
Haha definitely! Thanks for watching!
Molly said that chicken place opened in 1974 with such confidence.
Then Matt totally busts her and calls her out.
You guys are funny and make a great team.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Welcome to Saudi
Unfortunately the weather during the summer is pretty horrible just like the rainy north of the UK
Usually people prefer to visit the southern part of Saudi during summer Abha Baha namas etc
If u planning to visit the capital I will be happy to be ur guide free of charge
Enjoy Saudi and it’s lovely ppl
Cheers
Thanks for watching!
18:36 You would find a non-alcoholic Budweiser if you visit a supermarket. The area near the Corniche is really much like the Beverly Hills in California. There's a Boulevard that is very much similar to the famous Sunset Boulevard where all the highend luxury names could be found. The Western Housing compound where most Westerners live is actually like typical suburban America where homes are small and mid-sized, you would feel as if you're not in Saudi Arabia. These homes are used by Westerners who mostly work for ARAMCO or Boeing, and Lockheed.
Thanks for your comment
I advise you to write the title of the videos on your channel in English and Arabic to attract Arab viewers on your channel. And thank you for showing our beautiful country in the best way ❤️❤️❤️
yeah you’re right.
أنتما رائعان ، بارك الله في حياتكم - تحياتي لكم من صنعاء - اليمن
Nice Video as always 👍👍. I would suggest you travel to abha the weather is mild or you could go north and head East via Riyadh on to Bahrain across the causeway. Wish you guys a pleasant stay in KSA😊
Thank you so much!
Jeddah is lNCREDIBLE 🌴🚣🏼♂️🏄🏼♂️
Welcome to saudi, i recommend that you visit Jeddah from end of December to April this time of the year where locals be very active in outdoor areas because the weather is much colder and less humid than the summer.
This video is fantastic! I understand why people prefer to come out later in such hot weather. The music playing in the background at the Jeddah Corniche was performed on the Qanun, an Arabian string instrument popular in the region, including Egypt. It can sometimes be mistaken for the Guzheng or Guqin due to their similar sounds, but they are played in different scales.
lived in jeddah forty years ago the diving in the red sea is the best in the world
Wow, saudi has opened a lot. Although… I haven’t been to Jeddah. I worked in Riyadh which was a very strict city. Surprised you don’t have to cover and wear abaya. Their weekend is thurs and friday. So sat is like monday to them. If you can try their brosted chicken and afnan. Enjoy!
A lot has changed for the worse, more than ten years ago the weekend became Friday and Saturday
Thanks for watching!
You’re welcome.. Saudi is welcoming all cultures ❤
Great video Guys ! 😀😀 It's not as much a walking culture . The Saudis love to drive and find their favorite spots , have a picnic and chill . The food is so delicious. What was your
favorite go to food choice. Sending you much Love and Affection from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuk 🐕i🙏❤🙏
P.S. Matt, Chelsea is our favorite club.
So true! Thanks for watching! Glad you support chelsea 😉😍
it's not about the walking culture, the Saudi cities like many countries were designed for cars not pedestrians so the concept of walking wasn't even there, how ever later on many countries embraced the public transportation concept, that's why you'll find many (kind of) distorted cities around the world but they managed to recover.
in saudi, the idea wasn't there untill 2014, riyadh metro was announced as a part of a bigger project called "king abdulaziz public transport project", it's set to start operating end of 2023.
i guess we'll start walking LOL, welcome to saudi.
What`s with the food? The food markets in saudi are very bad & so are the food served in the restaurants only halal nonsense meaning chicken & fish in variations. Just nonsense.
@@Movingforward2000 what's the relation between halal and the food being bad ??.
who told u we only serve chicken & fish, we are the the most red meat consuming county in the arab world.
@Movingforward2000 the best thing never go there again
Our prophet and islam taught us to show and treat people with pure kidness, the prophet once said just smiling at someone is charity and to want for your brother what you would want for yourself sad the way the media in the west portrays islam and muslims. But the world is becoming more aware mashallah hope you guys had a great time thank you!
Many Islamic countries are not this generous. Saudi is very rich
The hotel restaurant was just as empty as eveywhere else.
10 years time it will hopefully be booming as it looks nice and the people seem really friendly.
We didn’t want to film people so sat away from everyone :)
You must come here during winter time especially in Riyadh to enjoy the weather and places
Thanks for the recommendation!
Welcome to my country, Saudi Arabia
Nice!!! I didn’t know it was this beautiful I’m here to educate myself ❤
Come visit Saudi, I’m sure you’ll like the experience.. and ready to help if needed..
Friday and Saturday most Resturants and markets are closed in the morning to the noon until 1 P.m.
Thanks for letting us know!
That was superb !!! you guys came to my hood and didn't invite me to the dates shop 😋... my house is 30 seconds walking just right behind the shop.. anyways, at 1pm our weather is funny so try to be hydrated...have lots of 💧...BTW, a very good restaurant next to Sunset hotel called Hareed Restaurant... 5 min walking distance. Good luck mates 🎉
Restaurants don’t actually close during prayer time anymore. And when they years ago, if you were inside they let you stay and open the door for you when you want to leave haha
You guys are sooo funny hhaha...Seeing you both wondering around walking in the streets of Jeddah in that heat all alone . Most ppl out there sleep till 3pm and life begins after 7pm. 25:31
Actually life starts at 4pm, because all shops opens at that time
however despite that, during working days, there are times where you will find most streets & even shops almost half empty, most of the crowd starts during weekends
😂😂😂 we get used to it eventually ♥️
Sir u are so welcome 🙏🏻 in Saudi 🇸🇦 I hope u have a good time don’t forget eat masoob
Welcome to Saudi Arabia guys!!
Thank you!!
8:53, in arabic places and islamic places in general, when a person or a tourist wants to try something they give them a taste test and also sometimes allow them to get something for free because its the first time they visit.
usually beacuse saturday its weekend day so alot must of the people are staying at home during the day probally sleeping and rest 😂 but u will see lots of crowded at night maybe and i can tell saudi people are more like night people also maybe beacuse of the weather cause during the day sun is strong in saudi arabia also i love how it can stay almost until 2pm busy and safe i live in riyadh and thats all i learned about their routine
In Saudi all shops open for tow shifts from 7:00 AM to 11:30 then they open from 3:30 PM or 4:00 PM until late night
But coffee shops & restaurants are open from 6:00 AM until late night or most of them work 24/7 , but they close for 2 hours at Friday noon from 10 to 12 because all are going to pray
She ate that spicy wrap and immediately turned red 😂😂😂😂 … Awwww 😂😂❤❤❤❤❤… poor thing… I can imagine
The city of Jeddah is more beautiful in winter and spring , but in summer it’s hot your choice of time to visit was a mistake .Jeddah is a wonderful city bro 😎
Thanks for watching!
24:02 as a Saudi, I can confirm that vine leaves are not from here and no one would say that, but its something that we eat and make regularly, we even have a lot of vine leave shops
1:03 They go home and have a siesta :), like they do in southern Italy and Spain and others in the summer. just normal.
Who the he ll wanna be in the street with 40c! Life there ends at 1 or 2 pm and starts again at 5 oclock afternoon I guess.
Lovely! Thanks for watching!
Yap 😂
Our "Siesta"! 😴
That's soo true!!!!!
Lmao 😅 😅
I visited Jeddah in March 2024 from California. I found it more beautiful and appealing than California. Islam is the best divine religion that God has bestowed Muslim countries.
Been to Saudi many times thru my job as an engineer on Ships, Jeddah was a great run ashore used to buy Seiko watches Sony Stereos etc were cheap Gold jewellery was cheap. I changed American dollars there my wages after leaving a ship and got the Bank exchange rate not the tourist rate. Saudi is safe you could leave you car door open with a gold watch left on the seat and no one would touch it.
Banks do money exchange 💰 💲??? 🧐 🤨
Here in my land, they don't 😮
Ohhhhh
Actually it's not safe leaving your car open with a jewel on the seat, we made this same mistake aroubnd years ago, & it got stolen
So to anyone reading this, don't do this, you will cry once you lose stuff with high value
@@uhm175
Same thing here back in my land... 🙄 😓
I already lost not only once 1️⃣ but twice 2️⃣ silver rings 💍 inside the mall 🚾 🚺 washroom 🏬 that I left above the sink while I was washing my hands 🚿 👐🏻 with the soap 🧼 and I simply completely forgot them above the sink 🤦🏼♀️ 😓 and, as soon as I reminded them forgotten inside the 🚾 🚺 washroom above the sink and I immediately ran out like crazy after my silver rings 💍 inside it, I then immediately found - out and realized that I was robbed, my rings end - up stolen Forever‼️
They were simply gone 😔
Khalas 😭 💔
Basically you should go out at night because jeddawi people love the night lifestyle, in the weekdays morning people go to work and school and go out in the night and in weekdays mostly in the morning they sleep but they go out in the night, you should meet locals to understand how things work as you can find out more and more
Welcome to you and all others tourist to our country, i live in Jeddah, the life started after 4PM or something like this, because the weather is very hot and al lot of humidity here and that's why a lot of hang out in the evening, and now is the beginning of summer, little people was going to the cornish, the cornish is very busy at the winter ( it does not make sense, but here are the life in Saudi (: ), also you must visit Al-Balad and King Road there is a lot of Caffe and delicious restaurant, i forget something, the busy roads, cornish, cinema, etc... is in Thursday, and maybe Friday, but in Saturday, little go outside (:
Again Welcome to you here
Thanks so much
I met some tourist from your country here in Bosnia. They liked weather here
@@heihei7235 yeah, actually we are suffering of highly temperature, raise up to 46 to 48 in most cities, we hope summer will ending soon 🥲💔

When i was in uk i used to see lots of people outside from 9am till 5 pm and sining and playing music and families on the park it’s beautiful and the weather is refreshing as well… its different here people go out on Thursday and stay up alll night until morning even drinking coffee at 12 am is normall for us .. most of us thats why we dont go out on Saturday cuz we have work in the morning we need to sleep and prepare ourselves for work Sunday morning and prepare the kids for school.
Saudi is excellent I enjoy it Almadina Lol the Saudi people has good hospitality ❤❤
Thanks for watching!
@@dabbleandtravel Always welcome
Everyone is welcome in Saudi Arabia, but we hope to visit it in the winter season because the temperature in summer is high
Thanks for watching!
It's better to come during winter season, the weather would be amazing.
This was back in Feb! Still hot 🥵
4:56
The weather so hottttt and humidity so high in hejaz region ( jeddah, Makkah and madina) that's why ppl start hangout after sunset
We realised this after haha!
Regarding the transportation difficulties , i would say it would be better if you rent a car or talk to some locals to take you around the city and hangout. it would be cheaper and making new friends… people are friendly there.
When you drink Arabic coffee, you must hold the cup with your right hand. Drinking Arabic coffee tastes, art and sweetness, especially with the Arabic jug. Whoever does not know the falcon will roast it.
Thank you
We wish you a happy journey, following you from the United Kingdom, London.We wish you a happy journey, following you from the United Kingdom, London.
Do not waste your time in the center, go to the south of Saudi Arabia, Abha, and the mountains of the villages of Jizan, the atmosphere there is beautiful and the culture is different.
Your welcome to Saudi Arabia you have to vist capital of Saudi Arabia is Riyadh We have supercars, amusement parks, shops and beautiful buildings 🇸🇦♥️
5:54 That Date is known as Ajwa. Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) liked Ajwa dates a lot and he planted the first tree of Ajwa Dates near the Quba Mosque in Madinah.
