Flying the New SAUDIA - Arabian Adventure to Al Ula 🇸🇦

- I flew on SAUDIA A321neo with the airline’s new branding from Riyadh to Al Ula, the new Saudi tourism destination. Throughout the flight, SAUDIA shows its new branding and product onboard. The crew has changed into a new uniform. Let me know what you think of SAUDIA’s new livery and branding?
The landscape changed dramatically as we approached Al Ula. Enjoy the cockpit footage of the landing at Al Ula International Airport.
The scenery at Al Ula is captivating with strange-shaped stones along the highway. We visited “The Maraya” which is the world’s biggest mirror building standing in the middle of nature with sharp reflections. After a short lunch in the old town of Al Ula, we headed to Hegra; a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was the southern city of the Nabataean kingdom, famed for its spectacular monumental tombs.
We ended the day trip at the Elephant Rock before heading back to board the SAUDIA flight to Riyadh. On the way back, I experienced SAUDIA’s regional business class and gave my feedback on the seat and service.
As a Saudi this livery brings back so many fond memories from childhood and I love it. Most Saudi's who remember the 80's have a special connection to this livery 💚💙
I feel the same for PIA's 80s and 90s livery and tail !
Why?
And not just Saudis remember that connection;)
@@1A_B_C1 AS I said, fond memories.
I've travelled a lot on Saudia and I have always appreciated their great service (even without the drinks). Amazing people!
I enjoyed traveling to saudi last year it was a great experience .. the people were nice , the food was on top ❤
As a Saudi, I enjoyed this vlog, the landing shot at night was breathtaking.
Thanks to you, you pictured our beloved city AlUla wonderfully.
I lived and worked 5 years in KSA, the Saudi airline it's a very professional team, and it's a very awesome Country with very kind people I hope to visit this beautiful country again Inshallah
I love they brought back the original livery from my childhood. Looks soooo cool.
So nice to see the vintage livery brought back alive again, very nostalgic, love the colours!
I was lucky enough to visit Al Ula site a couple of times and drive thru the paths inside, before they had closed the site for rennovation a few years back. Thank you Sam for taking me to that amazing nature once again!
CONGRATULATIONS "SAUDIA" MashaaALLAH , what a beautiful plane! What a great Jubilation! What a charming and shinning GREEN COLOR .... ALLAH YAHAFAZAK AMIN
Wow! Amazing. Just from the looks of it without comparing to the previous cabin, everything is of great taste, clean modern feel and brand excellence. Thank you for testing this altogether awesome package.
Thanks Sam and Thank you Saudia for sharing this special trip. It’s great to see your flight service and new branding.
This is a big step up from the Saudia that i’ve flown recently.
Wishing them well !
No no you have to say it right soodia:))
thank you Sam for showing us our Beautiful Home Earth 🌎 ,you are keeping dreams Alive
watching you from Kenya 🇰🇪
Both landings were damn good. They were centered beautifully and a nice and calm touchdown. The flight attendance was very good and the foodstuffs looked very delicious.
As a Saudi, I’m excited to try the updated planes
Salam. Al Ula landing was bad, I've seen/experienced Saudia landings pretty smooth and professionally done masha Allah. (:
Wow! Thanks for the videos, Sam! Thanks for explaining Not only about the airlines but also about the Alula!❤
Hi Sam, Love your channel my friend. Point of fact, it's not really a new livery but a return to what it once was, for me personally its an extra special close to my heart thing, my father worked for Saudia UK from 1984 to 2014, and I remember the first time I saw the beautiful 747-200 with this livery in December 1986 when I travelled to Riyadh to visit my dad's younger brother, It totally even at age 2 just took my breath away, how something so huge could lift off the ground. Anyway its a great return to what made Saudia one of the best flying experiences before it took on the blue beige scheme from 1998 onwards which I liked but lets face it the return to old scheme had always been Saudia through and through. Hopefully Saudia can once again reign supreme as the GO TO airline of the middle east.
Amazing. Now I wanna fly to there to try the cuisine & gaze into the sceneries .. ❤ thank u Sam for sharing your experience!
Yay. Love the new look. Very refreshing. Great vid. Saudi is doing a great job in tourism sector.
So glad you're doing more of these travel vlogs. I hope the middle east can continue to open up as there looks like so many fantastic sites
The cockpit views are incredible
Very nice video Sam, a privilege to be a special guest on there, looks a special place, somewhere I'd never be able experience in person.
The new Saudi theme music is my ring tone. Loved it ❤
The cockpit shots were amazing! That was a totally incredible day. The flight, the food, the sights, the hospitality.
insta360 camera just something must have nowadays!
Sam, Thank You for sharing this lovely vlog of Saudi Arabia new tourists destination. Amazing scenery. The plane new rebranding looking great.
I have NEVER VISITED that part of the world, so Thanks Sam!! For sharing that airline, culture, and beautiful scenery too! As usual, great little video!! Thanks!!
I like this green colour for sure. The more it has been proven to have a calming effect on people. Saudi scenery is breathtaking. A day well spent for sure.
Incredible video, Sam! Thanks for showing us some beautiful landscapes of Saudi Arabia.
Al Ula what an exotic and beautiful place. Thank you so much for taking us there. It is like the wild wild west of the USA in the 1800's and a touch of Egypt and Jordan's city of Petra. Totally bizarre but beautiful. The colors of Saudia in the green and white as oppose to the beige and white. It is totally crazy and awkward that with just minutes to landing they are serving dinner and snacks only to retrieve them. Not too much privacy in that business class seat and the IFE panel is like being in school just one big billboard. They need to redesign everything all over again with the folks at Boeing and Airbus Industries. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutly stunning! Would love to visit Saudia Arabia in the future!
Old livery is new again. Remember this from the 80s.
Amazing landscapes !!!!
Loved The cockpit views and beautiful mountains
WOW, this is so cool! Amazing location, amazing A321neo, and great video.
I flew the “old” Saudia. It was great then. Back to the future!
Very impressive. I cannot wait to visit KSA. Thanks for sharing.
Old memories of 1980’s . Forever Green, undoubtedly this livery is really beautiful! ❤
i love this saudi airlines retro livery 😍
Hi Sam. This is one of those vlogs with a variety. I always wanted to tell you to show some footages of the places you visit or fly to. That will add a little variety always. This one looked just perfect to me fitting that request of mine. I really did not imagine Saudi Arabia has so much in beauty in terms of history. Thanks once again. Love from India.
The shot of the takeoff, from inside the cockpit was very cool.
As Saudi Arabia opens up to tourism, I feel that there will definitely be a need for Saudia Airlines. It may be a decade, perhaps less, perhaps longer, for tourism to build up. The history there is incredible. Al Ula looks like it will be a popular destination in the future. I wish I could go there, but thanks to RUclips, and Sam's videos, I feel as if I have already been there.

I never thought I would have a desire to visit Saudi Arabia, but this video changed my mind. What an incredible landscape! (I would like to spend a couple of days in that old town instead of just a day trip, however.
It had a mystique that i'll never forget. Could use less humidity though but i miss it so much to the point of tears.
I’m Saudi, but living outside it. I look forward every summer to going back and visiting the new tourist areas as they open. Change is happening fast. We welcome you at any time❤
Bro i am from Saudi and also i never thought I would have a desire feeling to visit my country as a tourist except now😂
Thank you Sam for another cool video. You are great
The number one best aviation RUclipsr is back! keep up the good work Sam:)
Thank you. Sam
It was so much pleasure to watch it.
What an enchanting destination to explore. I aspire to have the opportunity to visit it in the future. The fresh hues of the aircraft and uniforms were truly captivating.
Actually I’m so proud of my airline ❤
Welcome to your second country. We, the Saudi people, love everyone and are happy to visit them among their Gulf brothers.
Yes I found the green livery very refreshing and calming.
Thanks for the amazing video 🙏. It’s very beautiful country and a beautiful aircraft inside and out. It’s a beautiful uniform and flight attendants😀👍.
Greetins from Costa Rica I love aviation I am your fan almost 3 years ago I enjoy your videos because You always sent diffrents qtopics
AlUla is a very, very beautiful city. I visited it a year ago and it was like a dream ❤️❤️
Very nice traditional livery for Saudia 😊 Very lucky to travel on charter flight to Al Ura. Very nice A321neo interior 🎉
Love the new livery. To describe it in one word ….. Fresh!
Lovely! Loved the peppy music! 😍
Thanks for sharing very informative video and excellent photography congratulations 👌
Love the vibrant colours and the cheat lines. They need to make a comeback on more airlines
Welcome to my country 🇸🇦. I have been following you for 3 years to watch the flights
Nice profile picture, u did it?
Thanks for beautiful video clip
I used to travel between Yanbu Royal Comissioner RYC and north to visit Silica Sand minings. I can tell it has improved a lot.
Hope one day to visit the area as a tourist.
Thanks for sharing the clip.
Thanks Sam for another great video
Appreciate the nice cockpit views too
I too like the new ( retro livery ) but as far as the uniforms although the new ones are nice the previous ones with the head piece exuded a particular charm that’s missing.
Thank you for this vlog. Wow. Have an amazing day!
Love the new livery, very modern but with a hint of retro vibes
nice 1
excellent video made sam
good points covered
really impressive serving dinner before very short time to land
Fascinating inside plane, fascinating outside countryside
Amazing aviation! Salute to all pilots
Good to see the transformation.
Saudia Airlines is amazing! Excited to board on one of this soon! OFW from Philippines
That is a retro livery from 80s and 90s ... bring back my childhood memories.
and late 1970s.
Very nice Air-Space interior...love love love
Beautiful place in earth
The new livery of Saudi airline looks to good and like to see a good and beautiful views of it
Thanks a million Sam Chui for this lovely video, you always make my Saturdays tick, infact I really enjoyed the background music and those fascinating tour around, I really felt for the cabin crew having to rush to clear the cabin in such a short time, I ve experienced it twice and it wasn't funny and somehow funny at the same time 🤣😂
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello Sam!!!!! Nice to see you again my friend !!!!!!! Amazing new concept SAUDIA Airplane!!!!! All its green!!!! Cool nice!!!!Have a good day!!!!
The landing and the experience 🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🔥
Most impressed Sam
Very thing was amazing
I felt for the crew running to clear before landing
Maybe a large snack might be better due to the short flight
The the livery and wow the business class is in my opinion spot on
Another great vlog thank you Sam
We hit turbulence on departure so 30 mins was spent just sitting....otherwise with 1.5 hr flight time we should be able to enjoy a full dinner.
Very cool that you also filmed off the plane. Nice to see!
I love the livery .... kind of looks retro ..... especially the back of the premium economy class seats
Another great video.... What a remarkable place to visit... It's so beautiful it's almost a shame to publicise it... Looking forward to the next video.... Roger... Pembrokeshire UK
We'll have to visit Al Ula. We keep hearing good things about it.
OLD IS GOLD I LIKE IT
I like the new one, "refreshing" is the right term, despite looking like the old 1990s livery.
The previous golden sand livery was good back in 2000s, modern and striking. It has the charm of the United "Battleship grey" livery. But today, the trend is going towards simplification as life is getting very complex, and I love this Saudia modern classic interpretation.
Yeah, let's hope the country could have more secularity and openness, that called modernization. We can see progressive and improvement.
Very nice trip with a new plane with a funtastic green colour ❤
I love it that Saudia is rebranding after more than two decades. A huge step for them, though long overdue as there's tough competition amongst the Gulf legacy carriers.
Thanks for the Great video and it’s a YAY for the refresh of the old Saudia logo for me! Fond memories from when I got to visit Saudi Arabia in the 80’s when my Dad worked for Boeing over there and our friend Cameron Smith worked for Saudia! Cameron, if you’re reading this or anyone who knows you please forward to Cameron and let him know my family has been trying to find you for years! ~ Brian and Dad John (R.I.P.), Mom Joni, Brother Brett… We’d love to see you again!
LOVE this new livery!!!
3:23-3:36 that livery looks 👍cool, gives a 20th century vintage-retro style vibe.
Amazing everything 💚🇸🇦
Living a great life! Love the channel
Yaya love the landings and take off
I love his travels
Nice livery, and a refreshing cabin inside an A321neo
Fantastic presentation, incredible views!!
It looks marvelous. Hope i will fly in this Airline in future
Unbelievable realizing old is gold
I wish they bring the old staff people and refurbish them who brought this airline up to the world standard in there golden age golden time simply regards the pioneers of SAUDIA airlines and reward them acordingly
Been to AlUla this summer - just an amazing experience and looking forward to come back when vision 2030 is finished. Amazing Architecture, History and Nature and the people are so friendly and the foood - incredible
Hey there’s a guy who wrote in the comments that the carvings ( the Nabateans munuments) are fake and the Saudis recently carved them 😂😂😂
@@brookhouse3041say to him his comment not important & egnore him 😂😅😅
@@brookhouse3041ruclips.net/video/DAkMQFyyrJk/видео.htmlsi=E5knJy-EfjJOleIc
This livery is the old original one of Saudia . It is very beautiful .
Love the new livery...looks more fresh and more professional
I had no desire to travel to the Middle East, but seeing this great video made me want to go to Saudi Arabia.
In the West, one tends to think KSA is somehow like Mogadishu…until you realize it is WAY different. Sure, Iran and Afghanistan aren’t too far away, but i’ve found Saudi + UAE to be a very nice trip combo.
Love your content Sam, its great that you are exploring these exotic airlines!!
