Riyadh Others Won’t Show You 🇸🇦

- As the Saudi Arabia is slowly opening its doors to tourists there are also more travel videos about this interesting country.
I was staying in capital city Riyadh and all I could find was other travelers and youtubers showing just a touristy side of this city. As I am usually more interested in seeing life of ordinary people my decision was to explore different side of Riyadh. If that sounds interesting, please join me :)

The kid @ 1:52 says to his brothers “lets catch the prayer we are late!” You can see the mosque is nearby in the background. How beautiful to see this pure innocent thought from a 10 year old kid!! .. at a time where kids in other countries are being brainwashed to change their gender at such age!
God bless their mom and dad for such healthy minded upbringing 🌷
Hello!! I completely agree!! Western world is falling apart 🙁 Really happy for the countries that stand against this craziness!!
Nice catch I really didn’t notice that! maybe because this is my environment and I got used to it. Regarding the brainwashing, I really appreciate that I born as Muslim ❤ and u know what upsets me more? when people normalize it by talking/arguing each other in this stupid subject! Be what ever u want to be but don’t effect/trash others by ur evil thoughts :)

This year I went twice in Saudi Arabia, first time in Jeddah and then in Riyadh. I simply love this country, people and everything related to it's culture! Can't wait to get back there again
Thank you for watching and great to hear you had wonderful experience :)
Thank you for your kind words, and you are welcome, you are welcome anytime🇸🇦🤍🤍

@@Ian-tv2pxfrom Nov. To April only you can come
Thank you for sharing these beautiful images greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷❤️🇸🇦
Thank you Isabela! ☺️🙏
Saudi Arabia is diverse in terms of climate and nature. There are green and cool cities such as Abha, Taif, Al-Namas, Al-Souda, Al-Baha
For sure there is lot more to see than Riyadh. Another reason to come back 😊
Yes

Bro these kids have made my day ngl, their innocence, their confusion, their religiousness even after finding a foreign person 💚. As a Saudi resident I can say you are welcome at Saudi Arabia any time. Wish you a great trip bro 💚🇸🇦
Yes, amazing!! Thank you very much! 😊
btw im from saudi; the nice saudi man at the and was so nice and you even met a fan i didnt expect that they were so nice i hope you see other fans sometime or even met me i hope
I loved how respectful and friendly you were with people, so they respect you as well. You are always welcome in Saudi Arabia, and I wish you success in your travels
Thank you very much for the kind words. Really appreciate it 😉
as a saudi i enjoyed watching this video so much i was smiling throughout the video especially when the little kids were interacting with u haha😂💚 you’re very kind & nice person thank u for this wholesome vlog :)💚
Thank you very much!! Appreciate the kind words 😉
bro im really mad rn lol. im a saudi guy and i literally wish if i were with you to tell and show you the ACTUAL saudi arabia and the SAUDI people. saudi people don’t like to go out in the day time except for work. their fun/meeting/activities starts after from 6 pm until 3 am. but in the winter their activities and everything begins from 12 pm until 3 am, which tells u that saudi people LOVE winter. anyways, i hope u enjoyed your time in SA and we would love to see u again . 🥰🇸🇦
Thank you for the comment. I am still amazed how patriotic and friendly Saudi people are. Would love to come back some day ☺️🇸🇦
If you want to visit Saudi Arabia, come to us in the winter or spring. The weather is beautiful. Saudis are very social with strangers. If you need something, do not hesitate to ask any Saudi on the street. He will help you.💚
True! I experienced that in May, Saudi are hospitable and kind!
Thank you!! Glad to hear that. If coming back, then only in winter or spring time. Also will try to find more Saudis to talk to 🙂
Great to hear! ☺️👍
It was an amazing video! Saudi Arabia is a beautiful country and its people are very kind, but I would have loved to have a friend or a tour guide to tell you more about our country. There are cool cities like Abha and hot cities like Riyadh. Your respect for the Qur’an caught my eye. Thank you, I hope you have another visit to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦🇸🇦💚💚
Thank you! I certainly agree. Would have been completely different experience with a local or a guide. Would love to explore more of Saudi. Hopefuly in the future! ☺️
Let me know when you visit again ,, i will take you in a tour
In Saudi Arabia, people walk around at night because of the higher temperatures during the day, so they only go out in the evening when the sun goes down.
Yes, that’s true! Thank you for watching :)
Very friendly country! Interesting video! Thank you, Ruudy!
Thank you ☺️
This is my neighborhood!! It was so exciting seeing you tour around it!! I enjoyed this video, hope to see more from you :) ❤
Thank you so much for watching! Appreciate the good words ☺️
The best video so far! 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks, Ruudy😎
Ohooo!!! Thanks 😉😎
Rudy, imagine in Latvia you see a person with a camera walking the streets on a Sunday night in February, in winter storm! so strange.
Similarity, walking around in Saudi during the midday heat - in summer - is very strange! People generally go out in the evening after magrib prayer is finished.
I wish i had known you were visiting Saudi in advance, i have very good friends who could have assisted you in navigating some of the cultural nuances.
Take care, i enjoy your travel channel.
That makes total sense! I learned how the “system really works” only after few days and after I recorded the video. I am no more surprised to see empty streets during the day time. And thank you! I appreciate it! 😉
Well put together
10:54 lol 😂😂
I like this video so much it's a wonderful and new experience 👌🏻 your smile made me very satisfied and happy the whole video :)
This realistic walking experience explained the lovely community that Saudi Arabia has and how safe and calm this country feels.
I'm excited for you to discover more cool stuff here..
Thank you!! You comment made me smile! ☺️ I have left Saudi Arabia already, but hope to come back one day for more exploring! 🇸🇦
what a wonderful and respectful person you are. you are always welcome in Saudi Arabia.
Thank you! Appreciate the good words :)
As a Saudi I want to thank you for this video
Thank you for watching :)
Welcome to Saudi Arabia, your channel is beautiful, keep going, and we will support you ❤️🇸🇦
Thank you so much!! ☺️
Thanks for sharing. Very nice to see local areas 😊
Thank you for the comment 😉
Beautiful, friendly country!
Thank you ☺️
@Eternity782 batman was a saudi
@Eternity782 nice one
My brother, you should visit the city of Abha, which is located in southern Saudi Arabia. There are wonderful terrains and a very beautiful atmosphere
Thank you for suggestion :))
i went there it was beautiful
I wıll visit abha and jazan next week hope weather will be cool
You're kind person, everyone is welcome in Saudi Arabia, I wish you to put visiting the south of Saudi Arabia into consideration next time, especially in winter 🌹
It’s making me a little sad when you in Riyadh but not meeting a locals, i see that because of the time you chose to go out, Riyadh it’s a night city specially in summer so, thanks for the video and you are always welcome 💙💙
Yes, I agree!! Well, have to keep something for the next time then 😎
thanks for sharing ,i really enjoyed ,you seem a very nice person ,i live her in riyadh and people really don't go out in the day time because the high temperatures, but is a beautiful city
Thank you!! And I can totally understand them. First days I went out, but then during the midday also decided to rather stay indoors 😂👍
Saudi people's are very peaceful. Helpful and friendly.
Any area you go are very safe day and night.
I agree! It didn’t felt unsafe at any moment. And people very helpful :)
Watching From Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

Hello omg i had a smile on my face the whole time i was watching the video this was hilarious . thank you so much for being so respectful and kind it sometimes baffles me to find a foreigner be nice in my country because i feel like people have miss conspections about Saudi but in reality its different anyways dont go outside in the heat again for your safety so you dont get like we call it ضربه شمس idk whats it in english but be careful because our heat doesnt mess around but you should film when they have festivals and you can talk to more saudis there bec i felt bad in this video i wanted to talk with you so bad 😭😭
Thank you very much for the great comment! I truly appreciate it! And I can’t stress enough how friendly and welcoming Saudi people been in this comment section! All the best and thank you again!!
The english word is Heat Stroke@@theruudy
104º F is HOT. In Texas we have our high temps around July and August 95º To 100º. Thanks for the hot tour.😉
Yeah, heard Texas no joke either 😂👌
Thank you for watching!
The maximum temperature reaches in Riyadh in July and August is nearly 50 C (122 F), of course not the whole of these two months, but certain days in them. But the good thing in Riayadh is it doesn't have humidity, unlike in other major cities like Jeddah, Mekkah, the Eastern Province, etc. where you will find high humidity as well.
Welcome to your second country.
There are a wonderful places to visit in Riyadh.
1: boulevard City. Night
2: Boulevard World. Night
3 Riyadh Front. Anytime
4: Uwalk. Anytime
5: Riyadh Zoo. Morning or Noon
6: Riyadh Park. Anytime
7: Avenous Park. Anytime
8 KAFD. Night
9: King Abdullah Park. Night
10: Albujiri. Anytime
11: Salam Park. Night
12: VIA Riyadh. Night
13: Sky Bridge. Night
Thank you for all the great suggestions. Some I visited, some should be left for the next time :)
You should research the tourist places before coming ,
You didn't see anything, you just walked down the street
plz come back again but research before
@@rakanrakan1214Hello! Did you see the title of the video? Plus if it’s not on a film, doesn’t mean I didn’t see the touristy objects off camera 😊
1:54 يا حلوهم ما عرفو وش يقولو 😂💗 +love KSA 🇸🇦+The video was very beautiful❤️
Thank you very much 😊
You and all tourists are welcome to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and we hope you enjoy your time in our country❤️
Thank you!! And yes I did ☺️👍
who said if you are not a Muslim you can't touch the Quran ??
whoever said it is wrong, you can touch it and read it whenever you want, in fact you can argue anyone who says so by telling them that alot of non muslims are buying the Quran everywhere and you will discover that they are one of those who like to act as if they know and represent islam.
Who? People in comment section, mostly in my Jordan video... But I would like to believe that you can touch it! Thank you for explaining! :)
@@theruudy yeah، everyone in the world are buying the Quran muslims and non muslims.
Bro, you can touch the quran if you want to read it and learn especially the translation, definitely you are allowed and even encourage you to do it.
Alright, I see! That would only make sense. Maybe if it’s inside the Mosque, then you can’t touch it? Because that’s where I touched it…
@@theruudy you can touch it especially for learning purposes. Maybe what they refer is that you should do wash (wudhu/ablution) before touching the Quran like Muslim do. But it's preferable not obligation.
@@theruudy Yes, what AL KISAH said is 100% correct. So, go ahead and, not only touch the Holy Quran, open and read it, still better, buy or ask any Saudi to give you a copy as a gift, and, trust me, they will be extremely happy to give you one along with otherworldly gifts as well (like perfumes, etc.)!
@@touringthecitywalking9209 Thank you 😊
Happy to see this, welcome to my country 💙
Thank you very much 😉
Honestly its like you are present there by seeing your video , I came to jeddah 8 months back and this type of vlogs show real life
Thank you very much! Appreciate a good words 😉
That is awesome. I like such videos which show sreets people and daily errands rather than the videos of highways and shopping malls
Keep doing that a nd my request is to visit a district known as al wurud. Thanks
I am the same. Much more interesting. Thank you ;)
Next time try to visit Saudi Arabia in “Riyadh season” there are a lot of activities at winter & you will find saudis more than expected unlike daytime in summer but Generally we are night lovers. Also why don’t you try the traditional food in Riyadh for example “najd village restaurant” (القرية النجدية).
At the end Thank you for respecting our beliefs and trying to show the Saudi people, even though you did not find them 😂
Thank you for suggestions! 😊
Hehe, I met some Saudis off camera though, they were all really welcoming and helpful.
Would love to come back!!
@@theruudycome back at anytime you want 💚
You are really a nice person! So people are nice to you also🤗
40 degrees! Wow!
Thank you a lot! 😉
Yeah, it was bit over the line 😂
Nice video, very simple but truthful
Thank you 😊
1:40 the kid got so nervous because his friends/relatives answered and he didn't. Started panicking and saying "I don't understand! I don't understand!" that was so cute
Yeah, my favourite part of the video !!
This is what actually Saudi is. I recall Saudi, Dubai, and Kuwait having their own migrant communities. Not very flourished and segregated from Saudi society
Yes, that’s how I saw it too…
Most immigrants try to find the cheapest accommodation so that the can save money and send it to their families. While, others seek homes that are closer to their jobs, and many companies provide accommodations to their foreign employees. I guess that happens almost everywhere. Not to say there are no Saudis in this neighborhood, but most of them at that time are at work or at schools.
@@Name-yb7hn You are right! Think that is exactly what’s happening. And for sure there are some Saudis, just didn’t get to see them, besides the man at the end of the video. Think he was from Saudi :)
@@theruudy Will you go to other places in KSA؟
Great video wonderful to see some of the areas I visited last month yes bro usually in Saudi it’s normal from 7 pm till early morning when locals are out and once we registered 39 degrees and 5he Saudi hospitality is the best.
Hehe, thank you for watching! And I fully understand anyone who decides to come out only in evening time :)
You are such a Legend yourself by already knowing every second man on the street 😁👍🏼
Haha, thank you thank you! But think locals were just curious and wondering who is this guy filming here 😂👍
Bro! you so brave to go out in the noon) I really enjoyed the vlog!
Haha, I had no other option. Didn’t wanted to spend my days alone inside the hotel 😂👍
You are very welcome.. thanks for visiting us 🤗🤗
Thank you for watching 😉
The little boy said “ what’s going on I don’t understand “ is so funny and cute😂😂
Haha, yeah! Such a cool kids 😎
Your always welcomed , a beautiful country, a beautiful video 🤍
Thank you very much :)
You are extremely welcome in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦🌹

From a Saudi citizen 🇸🇦
Thank you very much ☺️
Great video bro,very chill 🥀👌🏾
Thank you very much :)
In the day people tend to go to coffee shops, or cruise in their cars etc, this is because the weather is usually hot plus we love coffee haha, we also tend to go out at around 3 PM the earliest
And I can understand why. I would do the same in lived in Riyadh 😂👍
Last year, I went Saudi Arabia. I has been The edge of the World, can you believe that we walked to here under almost 40 degree centigrade. Fortunately, we arrived at here. Now I tell you why I follow your channel, cos I am an English learner which plan to improve my English skill by watching English Video. I found that your accent is good and voice is clear. Hope to watch your more video and learn more from you.
How did you liked Saudi Arabia? Thank you for watching and subscribing 🫡
Such a nice guy. Love the video!
Thank you :))
Welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Thank you very much!!
if you come back in the winter season, try to go to the famous places where you find many locals.
Thank you! I went already some famous places, just didn’t film. But agree, winter is definitely a better time to visit :)
Rudolf u r an amazing explorer i live in Riyadh and enjoyed ur video so much
Thank you! Appreciate the good words 😊
finally a video that actully shows what's the life of a saudi citizen (or atleast where i live) looks like, that's what my eyes see on daily basis
Thank you for the comment. Appreciate it 😊
Saudi Arabia is beautiful, Safe, and an Amazing Country.
I agree! Thanks for watching :)
hello if you dont mind me asking what was the hotel that u stayed in or was it an apartment that you rented?
Hello! It was called Al Farhan Suites Ishbillia :)

4:27 you can see my a school building on the right
Haha, that is great!!! Small world!! Thanks for the comment 😉
Thank you for the video. I’ll be there for 3 months here soon! Did you feel safe walking around alone? Did you have any trouble with language barriers?
Hey! I felt very safe, think the crime there is really low. Regarding the language, think most of the people speak english. All the best :)
Love your content!

With such a beautiful soul like yours you can find beauty everywhere you go, the beauty in the eyes of the beholder, salute from Saudi Arabia your video made my day, tbh not quite a lot of videos i see about our country and I don’t like the generic advertising videos, nor the hating videos toward my country, I just want to travel the world, make friends from around the globe, like what are you doing, much love my friend wish you a safe trip and you are welcome.

Welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 I hope u had fun I want to give u suggestion that it will be so nice and so cold whether if u came to Saudi Arabia in winter it’s so nice and cold
Thank you! And yes, coming in winter time definitely a much bette option ☺️👍
Best time to visit from October to March.
Definitely, otherwise it’s way too hot! 😂
Nice video. Best time to visit Saudia is during the winter.
Thanks!! And I fully understand why 😂😊
It would have been great if I happen to come across you when you were in Riyadh, I’m happy you enjoyed your trip, and I hope we can meet when you come again
I enjoyed your video 🤍
Thank you! Appreciate it!! ☺️
I live in Riyadh, if you come again and want someone to guide you around I’ll be very happy to do, in general people in Riyadh are kind of suspicious when seeing a camera, more than twenty years ago mobiles with cameras were forbidden, things have changed but some people are still uncomfortable around cameras especially big ones.
Thank you for watching and an offer showing me around! I can totally understand being suspicious of cameras, it's the same in most places around the world! :)
Peter Santenello did a great job at showcasing the Not-Touristy side of Saudi Arabia, you could watch his videos, it is more about the people than the place.
Yes! I have seen it!! He did a great job :)
amazing video brother,if you ever come back and visit saudi again you should go out in the evening from 7 pm to 2 am
Thank you very much! 😉
Im so happy to see you happy in my country i hope when you come nex time i realy hope we met in Riyadh or any place in saudi
Thank you very much! Love the patriotism of Saudi people 😊
nice vlog bro and welcome to Saudi Arabia
Thank you very much 😊
U made a good effort in making this video. Congrats
Thank you very much 😊
Welcome to Riyadh 💕
Thank you very much :)
hahahha i catch you , you are in my neighborhood. welcome and come back again to Saudi with your friends specially in October/November till March or Aprill you will enjoy a lot
Hehe, great!! Would love to come back 😉

Love to see a comment like this. Thank you 🙏
@TheRuudy you could explore Nepal too, it's awesome here. 🇳🇵
@@iamnvn It’s is on my list for sure. Don’t know when, but one day hopefully ☺️
That was my experience too… there were almost no people… it looked so deserted and depressing… even the shops were empty.
Probably also during the day time. Once the sun goes down it gets much more lively :)
You have deserve more views i hope you visiting Iran as well 👍
Thank you! I would LOVE to visit Iran. I have heard so much good!!
You seems to be a good guy keep up your good videos
Thank you! Appreciate the comment :)
Welcome in Saudi my man I love these videos about meeting the locals Because as me a local
Thanks a lot 😊

Was considering a offer to work in Riyadh. This is exactly what need for reference of local life. Not just those big fancy mall and tower video.
Indeed! Glad to hear you find it useful :)
