Saudi, a country that I've been blessed to visit twice in 2022, Alhamdulillah, and a country that
0:07
also does not have a good reputation worldwide in the media. But in my experience, both trips
0:13
have been both enjoyable, peaceful and amazing all across the country from Riyadh, Jeddah and of
0:20
course Medina. This was my daily life in Saudi Arabia and some of the places that you need to
0:25
check out and were my favourite when I visited this pretty interesting country. So let's begin
0:32
in Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi. Begin your day by eating beautiful full Watamis. Also try the
0:39
local coffee here. The coffee is phenomenal. Some of my favourite actually that I've ever had
0:43
across the world. Before heading to the incredible antique market in the older part of the city
0:51
You can stay for many many hours listening to the amazing auctions selling off all of the antiques before heading to the Mazmak Fortress which is holding some of the most incredible history you will find from Saudi And of course a trip in riad cannot be set without visiting the kingdom tower and you need to really head to here for
1:12
sunset because the sunset views across the whole city are just phenomenal and of course you have
1:18
to end the day by having delicious albaic food this is an iconic restaurant here in saudi and
1:24
it's not iconic for no reason i loved the food the food had incredible flavor and it was delicious
1:31
After Riyadh, I took a domestic flight to Jeddah, which sits on the west coast of Saudi
1:37
and actually sits on the coast of the beautiful, stunning Red Sea
1:42
Guys, I could spend hours in this city, walking through the old district of Al-Balad with my
1:48
friends, eating the juicy, sweet, fluffy dates and heading to the promenade for sunset, all
1:54
while hearing the beautiful Azzan and watching the happy smiles of all the local people around
2:00
this area. Jeddah for me is one of those cities where you immediately feel at peace and it is one of my favorite cities in the entire world
2:08
And now one of my favorite areas I ever been blessed to visit This is the city of Medina I took a train from Jeddah to Medina and can I just say Saudi trains are phenomenal so easy to
2:22
use and are actually one of the best train systems to use that I've ever had the pleasure of
2:26
experiencing in the entire world. They are easy to use, quality is amazing, they run on time, very
2:32
fast trains and they are not that expensive. As soon as I arrived in Medina I dropped my luggage
2:38
as soon as I possibly could and walked straight to the Prophet mosque, cried and prayed. It was
2:45
a moment I was longing for for such a long time and the feelings I felt there were incomparable
2:53
to anything else I've ever felt in my entire life. I am beyond grateful to have been able to visit
2:57
this place Alhamdulillah and inshallah I'll be able to go back very very soon. I spent three
3:02
beautiful days here in Medina and I wish honestly I could spend every single day of my life there
3:08
It is the most peaceful and beautiful cities and places and feelings that I ever come across in the entire world And I so blessed to have gone there Alhamdulillah And I hope inshallah very very soon I can go back Non can of course go to Medina but you cannot go inside the mosque complex
3:29
Please do not do that unless you are a Muslim. You can explore the incredible city, still talk to locals and learn about the religion
3:36
Islam is very peaceful, beautiful. and I hope in Medina and Saudi and any other country you go to you learn the true meaning of
3:46
Islam away from the media. If you love this video check out Mysterious Saudi on Cowbox. If you haven't
