    استغرب من بعض المواطنين الذين عندهم مشاكل ومعتقدات سواء كانت خاطئة او صحيحة ويشاركونها مع سائح جاء لبلدك ليس لك انت فقط
    السائح عندما يأتي يريد اكتشاف ثقافة الشعب الجميلة وأخلاقهم ويريد اكتشاف معالم البلد والمناظر الطبيعية
    السائح لايريد ان يستمع لمشاكلك مع نفسك وتنكرك لناس الطيبة في بلدك
    الرجاء احترام السياح واعطائهم صورة حسنة عن بلدنا
    أو على الأقل قل خيرا ام اصمت

    I spent almost my whole life in Germany. I got the opportunity to move to Saudi Arabia, a country, that sounds strange and dangerous for Europeans, mostly because all we know is from media. When I arrived in Saudi, it was (as expected) a different world. But it was a world that fell in love with within a couple of days. So many nice and polite people. So much Respekt, I was welcomed by every single person. I came to the conclusion that the beauty of a country depends significantly on the people. I am still in Saudi and I still love this country like the first day.

      @@ajs41 -- A good question. I generally stay at the Courtyard Diplomatic Quarter, and I've seen plenty of women business travelers there, several who seemed to be traveling alone. That said, they're likely not visiting the more depressed areas; more likely working with contacts in the government, or with Aramco. And that isn't substantially different than working with business people anywhere else, at least since MBS started making changes in women's rights there.

    I’m in Saudi right now for work. It’s been amazing seeing the new levels of freedom, economic growth and development that SO strongly contrast my experiences here 9 years ago. The sense of relief is palpable. The Saudis have always treated me well but now there is an unreserved openness and friendliness that reminds me of Egypt. I hope good things for the people of Saudi, and pray that as they explore new avenues of freedom that it doesn’t just turn into new burdens brought on by the same moral pitfalls we suffer from in the west. Enjoy these new paths, KSA, but do so, wisely.

    I used to work in Riyadh 10 years ago when life was much more restrictive. I also enjoy city-walking and was stop by the "department for abolition of vice and promotion of virtue" for drinking my Starbucks coffee on the terrace during prayer time. I am so happy to see the CHANGE. I did not believe the authorities would have it in them to open up on social restrictions. What a powerful move with powerful results: a happy and prosperous nation focused on building their future. Thank you for this video. I look forward to watch the rest of the series and others!

I have never seen happier kids than Saudi kids and I have travelled to many countries… Saudi kids were only laughing and running around. Kids like the ones in the video were what I would see. I didn’t see 1 upset Saudi kid. Honestly, I was in shock!
    Western media show a wrong image of the Saudi people. They were very nice and hospitable.
    Some Saudis were very surprised to see I was a tourist. They thought I was a tourist in their city, but couldn’t believe I was a tourist in their country 😄

      The one correction I'll make about something Mohammad said is the head scarfs (Hijabs). I moved there in 2000 and never wore a Hijab unless I was having a bad hair day. I know there were different rules for Saudis vs. expats, but yeah, the only times that the religious police would attempt to tell us to cover our hair was during Ramadan. But headscarfs aren't really a legal term thing, it's religious, and I barely ever wore it out. So it's not something that became legal two years prior to your video being posted.

      You really sound like you give about human beings... I like that.
      But let’s talk about the reality, because you sound like you’re living in a movie. We Muslims don’t want libéralisme, because it’s subjective, it’s baseless. It’s just about what white people find okay, it’s the white mens sensibility. Like having sex with your own sister, having sex with animals, homosexuality, and more of these disgusting things are freedom in your eyes. But it’s madness in our eyes. We DONT want it. You can’t force your taste upon us. Talking about animal, go clean your own mess first, people are starving in USA. They kill each other for 1 gram cocaine. Look at the crime statistics, you would almost think the USA is a war zone. You guys think letting your sister or wife walk half naked is freedom, well, we don’t share this opinion. And don’t talk like your the president of the USA. “ we will invade you” bla bla bla. You will do nothing my friend. Saudi Arabia is holy, there are 1.8 billion Muslims who will drink your blood if you put one step into that land.

Some are sent by their families to hide their cocaine and heroine habits! And please don’t talk about sleeping with sisters when you marry your first cousins. Everything happens in Saudi Arabia but it’s all hidden under the carpet but you can’t fool people, the whole world has seen what Saudi people are like when they leave Saudi and believe me their behavior is not what you call honorable and they have no boundaries! The Arab world looks upon you as traitors who sold out to the West.

      it's quite similar to dubai in many ways. they funnel their oil money into projects like this, and modernize in regards to social customs and PR, in the hope that when the oil runs out and the world transitions away from fossil fuels they can sustain themselves via being a business/trade hub. i don't think it will work out in the long term (see: neom - absolutely delusional colossal waste of money, consultants laughing all the way to the bank) but you can't fault them for trying. and while i haven't been to saudi, I have been to dubai, and in terms of architectural grandeur and the friendliness and politeness of the people, it really is beautiful in its own way. but the ugliness is still there, just buried in the sand.

      even if he was lying the freedom he was talking about was a disaster, if it is true then the workers from our countries will also enjoy their women alot , since there are women in the middle age no body marries them , there desires high.
