- A solo travel vlog sharing my experience as a backpacker and hitchhiker exploring, wild camping and meeting people in Saudi Arabia.
I boarded a ferry in Egypt that took me to Duba, a small port town in Saudi Arabia where ai got stranded at the border all day and nearly all night. I ended up stealth camping in an abandoned building before splashing out on an expensive hotel room the following day. washed and rested, I began to hitchhike across the country, making it almost all the way to Medina before wild camping by the road and finishing the journey the following morning.

Welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Shukaran Haji 🙏
@@FreddieWanders Haji !😂😂
*First, you are welcome in Saudi Arabia, and of course you are not a stranger. You are among your family and brothers. Second, why sleep on the street? You didn't have to do that. It would have been better for you to knock on the door of the house of any Saudi citizen and ask him for permission that you are staying in his house. He will welcome you and be happy that you are his guest and you will see the extent of Arab generosity.*
you should not sleep in the street man, Saudi people are very nice and generous, if you knock any door you will find many will be happy to help.
You are right brother! Very kind people, this was my first day so I wasnt sure of their generosity yet. But did sleep pretty well nonetheless
This is literally the craziest traveler I’ve seen in my life
Haha it is a very fun way to travel ❤️ Pretty unusual I guess!
Very cool. Any plans to continue your vlogging adventures?
I really liked this video and ur crazy journey meeting random people 😂❤
Hehe thank you Sa. Yes was such a pleasure. I am in India now with a beaut lil community in goa
First, welcome to Saudi Arabia, and we hope that you will be comfortable on your trip. Secondly, there are several observations in the way you travel in Saudi Arabia, including that you do not use technology and applications to obtain services such as housing, where you will find at good prices many hotel options in Booking and others. For transportation and taxis within cities, as well as for travel between cities, there are many applications such as Uber, Bolt, and Jeeny within cities, and sair, rehla, and kadad applications for intercity cars and saptco for intercity buses, and we do not have a culture of intercity transportation by riding with passing cars and trucks, so you find everyone surprised by The presence of a person walking on his feet on a travel road and stopping cars to ride with them, in addition to that this is irregular and entails a traffic violation for the driver, in addition to that you are not supposed to sleep in the streets and deserted places such as the homeless, because that is not civilized at all and we do not have homeless people at all Finally, it was wrong to accuse those people you said of chewing drugs without knowing what they really do, because what they chew is tobacco like that in smoke, but it is cheaper and is commonly used among Indians, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis.
Thank you for your comment Ahmed. I know I have chosen a particularly challenging way to travel but I really enjoy it! For sure would be easier to use official transport and accomodation. But I prefer a challenge and is a great way to meet people.
love the new intro and outro! hammocking out in random little public spaces is quite adventurous! you must feel a great sense of freedom doing that. looking forward to more from saudi
Thank you Michael :) yes must say the wild hammocking is one of my favourite bits- when its a good spot that is! Recently I was staying with some guys from pakistan that had given me a lift and I really wanted to sleep outside in the hammock but they were shocked and just point blank insisted I slept inside xD was still very comfy but nothing beats the fresh air and sway
That is very interesting. I hop you successful in you job.🌺
Beautiful sunset
too exciting
USA i would never think of hitching a ride too dangerous!!!
In the Kingdom, there are no taxis, there are only delivery applications such as Uber
What are you mumbling about such misinformation? There are Taxis in Saudi Arabia
Recently they changed their colors, they are green now, they're just sometimes hard to find in the desert
@@uhm175 😂😂😂😂😂👍
Welcome ❤❤
Nice episode, as always. It's pretty hard to get used to this different definition of "time", punctuality and reliability with appointments. As a german this is deeply ingrained in my DNA and it gets really frustrating travelling those countries from time to time^^ Nevertheless once you accept it simply as part of another culture and not "bad behaviour" it gets easier to bear.
yeess bro you know it xD is so difficult to play it cool, does stress me out being late for things. This whole laisse faire does not exist in our world, let alone the big cities. You are right it has gotta be down to acceptance I guess
👍👍👍👍👍
Great 👍
Are you from the states?
What do you called in which you sleep , brand name and cost , please let me know
Love your content man, just wanted to ask what was the most generous and accommodating city or country you have been too ?
Hello Yousef thank you for your comment, I hope you are well. It is a tough question, there have been quite a few. I think I was particularly overwhelmed by the generosity in Allbania but perhaps just because it was the first time I really encountered it. Overall I would say Iraq is the front runner with Saudi in a close second. But the whole arab world is up there.
you're amazing! so are the people you meet! I know your channel will expand a LOT!
You are too kind Zeb! Many thanks for your comment, I wish you all the very best
awesome
Hello ! Very nice vidéo thanks for all the information. I wanted know you take ferry from Egypt to Saudi arabia but this possible the enter with online visa. Because i check and it was writing you Can enter from some airport. If you Can give information please. Thanks a lot in advance.
Hello FY, yes you can get the ferry with an online visa. It was quite expensive but very easy and quick. You need the visa before you get on the ferry.
Thanks a lot
🥰❤️
Freddie is my hero
Hi ! Nice video do you need a negative Covid test to enter Saudi on tourist visa ?
Hello Minaz many thanks :) no need for a covid test, and you can get an e visa for Saudi very easily online. Quite expensive but they processed it right away. Please consider subscrribing if you are interested in following along!
Very nice
How are you brother
Your saudi arabia tip finish?
Hello Ali, assalam I am well thank you and yourself? Pretty ready for some humidity though it has been a while in the desert. I am still in Saudi, just about to leave Riyadh tomorrow! Aiming towards Dubai next :)
