a hotel room with a view of the Kaaba, and with the help of Welcome Saudi, I definitely did. I ended

up staying at the Swiss Hotel Al Maqam and the view for my hotel room was, I think, one of the

music playing everywhere the people of course are amazing and yeah so far an amazing experience

Today I'm flying to Jeddah

Finally, I'm so excited It's 8 in the morning My flight is in about an hour and 30 minutes

So let's head inside And finally fly to this beautiful city Salam and Masakir from beautiful Jeddah

Saudi Arabia's second largest city on the Red Sea coast Right now we're in the Balad which is basically the old heart of the old city of Jeddah

This used to be Jeddah, like this was it. There were like walls around to protect itself because Jeddah was like a port city so it

was kind of rich because people would import into Saudi through the ports but

after in the what was it like 1970s or 80s they moved from this the bad at the

old city out towards the north so this has kind of become like the cultural

center of Jeddah so this right here is the Shafi Mosque which was built just

under 1,000 years ago and it's one of the oldest places here in the city it's

prayer time now so I gonna head inside and check it out This is probably the biggest date I ever seen

It's good? It's called Majdool and it's from Medina See I didn't know that, I just asked them

It's amazing, it's huge Hi

Yalla, let's go. Whoa, it's great

Good weather, comfortable seats. Oh, it's beautiful. I haven't ridden a bike in so long

So when you're cycling, there's a huge cycle pass just in the middle of the entire street

We're gonna cross over now and head to the beach. Wow, this is beautiful

Okay guys, we've got the beautiful capsule here. We've got the lamb and the chicken. I'm joined by Nada

Yes, hi, I'm Nada. I'm not from Saudi, but I'm born and raised here

I'm part Yemeni, part Indonesian. And I'm glad to meet you today here. Bismillah, let's eat

So we're going to grab the spicy sauce. Put it on top

And this is, what's this? Yogurt, basically. It's like yogurt. We're going to mix up both together

This meat is so tender. It's been cooking for eight hours in coal underground

The smell is insane. And here I'm gonna eat with my hands Nala's gonna eat with her spoon which is okay you can do both so don't come for her in the comments

Wow it's really good Made it down to the beautiful Colneesh ready for sunset see the incredible sunset behind me so many people here is so busy

This was the coffee store we went to earlier. Super, super busy now. It's so beautiful

This has to be one of my favorite spots so far in Saudi. People are super friendly

It's a beautiful stop and take in this beautiful sunset. Go. Super

As you can hear the azan is going off, I'm a quarter breath so I'm going to head to the mosque

It's so beautiful down here guys, if you're coming to Jeddah you definitely have to spend

sunset here. It's amazing. okay good afternoon everybody i've just made it here to the airport but i'm not traveling by plane

today i'm traveling by train here in saudi they have an amazing railway system so i'm really

Allahumma inna nasal kafeesafari nahadhan birra wa taqwa Okay, so when you are booking the train ticket the website is super super easy to take the train like I did from Jeddah to Medina

There's also a train from Medina to Mecca and also Mecca back to Jeddah

Once you click on the website you click on the tickets and the system is very very easy

You just click the stations like you are booking a flight I booked it from the airport. There are two stations in Jeddah and then I just put Medina as the final stop

Chose the date, economy or business. I recommend you go economy if you wanted to save a bit of money

I couldn't really tell a huge difference between both. The train was pretty empty

And you can book which wagon you want, which class, which seat, all for free

And you can also bring as much luggage as you want as well. Assalamu alaikum. Okay, so I just finished my group prayer

What a blessing to be able to pray in there. The complex is huge

Wow. Very overwhelmed right now. La ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar, wallahu akbar, wallahu akbar, wallillahi alhamd

Today I am meeting someone amazing here in Makkah and we will explore some of the most important places here in the city

We started at the Cave of Thao, the cave in which Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, found shelter

and also as a hideout in which the Prophet, peace be upon him, and his companions took refuge for three days and three nights

before hijrat or migration. I have my childhood friend

It's where pilgrims head to from Mina on the ninth day of Hajj, holding prayers and reciting the Quran

At the end of his life, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, presented his final sermon or farewell pilgrimage speech

to the Muslims who had accompanied him on the Hajj. see the sunsets here there's a lot of classes going on here teachings and a lot of people

ice cream van locations in the world, right? vanilla or strawberry? this man is too kind

you need it like this? sure Okay, take this. Strawberry with vanilla

Oh, nice. Let's try it. Surah Al-Fatihah

The mosque is called Masjid Al-Bay'a

Al-Bay'a means when the Sahabas make Bayat on hands of Prophet Sahaba from Medina came here and they did Bayat Bay'a here at this point

and Umar bin Abdul Aziz made this mosque here, he put the name of this mosque Masjid Al-Bay'a

also this mosque name is, this place name is Bay'at Al-Aqaba but here happened, this is Bay'at Al-Aqaba before migration of Prophet peace be upon him

people of Medina came here and they had Bay'at here on hands of Prophet peace be upon him

And they invited the Prophet to Medina. Please come to Medina and we will all do Baya on your hands

So this is the place for remembering this Baya. So it's my final Aisha here in beautiful Makkah. Tomorrow inshallah I will go to Medina

Let's see maybe I will stay here in Makkah one more day because of course it's amazing

So I'm gonna head in and pray my final Aisha. I'm gonna be very sad to leave here
