1- it’s ok to eat with your left hand, it’s up to you, no one will force you 2- holding hands is ok! 3- some places close when it’s time to pray, and some don’t 4- bringing a gift when you visit someone is a good thing but not necessary.
But don't show your soles of the feet to anybody. The feet's soles are the dirtiest part of a person. And of course, all women there MUST WEAR A HIJAB, even if you are not in a mosque (or "masjid"). If you don't, the Mutawwa will harass you physically until you comply. You could even be arrested. The prohibition of going to Mecca and Medina if you are not a Muslim or a Muslim-Pilgrim (especially in times where the Kingdom hosts the famous "Hajj") had been there in the Kingdom for years. The reason for this prohibition is to help prevent religious conversion to some other religion other than Islam (which is known as proselytization, which is illegal there).
Thsnks for your video but you made very complicated in some points while it is not anyway, Im working as an uber driver and i meet a lot of tourists and the are enjoying their time here in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 You are all welcome to visit our beautiful country ❤️
Things i have questions about- "Don't take pictures of women" why only women ? You shouldn't take pictures of ANYONE without permission. "Don't clap on the but" - This should not be okay anywhere not only in Saudi Arabia.
@@jordanmartinez8287 is not appropriate even in western country to take picture of random strangers 😂. But I thought he was referring to people that are in the picture not on purpose, maybe you are taking a photo of a square and the are people around, that will end in your picture 😅. But maybe I'm wrong...
He is referring to a couple slapping each other on the butt, not random people. That would be considered sexual harassment in most civilized countries.
because pics taken of women are usually for creepy reasosn and there's a culture of it in every country as well as sxual abuse etc. it shouldn't have to be spelled out.
As a Saudi thank you so much for your visit and here are some points that you may have found too restrict when they are not: First, holding hands actually you can hold your wifes hand only, women are too restrict with Islam so most of them are all covered and some dont cover their face and in islam you are only allowed to stay with your wife if not a girl from your family, sometimes and ok to stay in a meeting with a girl talking about business or some kind of work relationships and no girlfriends at all, doing drugs or drinking alcohol is very forbidden is saudi arabia like it can get you to atleast 5 years in prison + a very big fine, also another point is stealing in Saudi Arabia if you steal something the government will cut your hand 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Its really a must for someone to learn a country's dos and donts before visiting that country. Not only knowing its cultures and traditions, but also respect them. You will be welcome wherever you go if you behave appropriately ❤
Respect is two way street. How can you respect a theocratic country run by a absolute monarch that still executes people for questioning their religious myths?
Things aren't always so simple. Using that rationale one could argue if we visited Nazi Germany in the 30s we should all shut up and respect their local culture rather than call out the bad behaviour when we see it.. In reality, Saudi Arabia is a totalitarian state. it is a theocracy, not a democracy. It's monarchy is inherited. It's rulers steal their own country's wealth to buy themselves exotic car collections. And if any Saudi criticizes them too much, the royal family kills them. So just shut up to fit in? Or maybe push back a little so people living there might have future hope for a better life.
@@mydogsbutlerperfectly legitimate and agreeable points. We shouldn't ignore anything we deem backwards - how anyone can support women's rights and gay rights, and then ignore their plights in another country is horrible. The same goes for Dubai
Thanks for your video! Just getting boarded to go there! Going there with an open minded and for sure common sense and respect. The basics things in my opinion to enjoy travelling
I would love to visit Saudi Arabia. It's sad that somehow various groups of people have demonized Saudi Arabia. From what I've seen and read, it seems like a beautiful place with people as eager to learn about us as we're eager to learn about them.
I have lived in Saudi for many years. Only some restaurants close and depending on your nationality you can drink if you want as its available legally. The benefits of working in Saudi are not imaginable to most westers as its Epic brilliant. Being free from crime and politics is under rated. Women are respected and safe unlike in Europe. Saudis and all Gulf nationals are amazing. But there is a class system and being American or British does get you ahead in life.
The definition of the word embassy is a land purchased by a foreign country within the country and is considered under the sovereignty of the country to which the embassy belongs. A country such as Saudi Arabia can build a mosque inside this embassy in which the Creator alone is worshipped, such as the Saudi embassy in Iran, or wine is made in it, such as the American embassy in Saudi Arabia.
I met a french guy at jedah ariport he told (with a strong accent) ", i can have fun with my family without getting drunk" If you are on vacation DONT be drunk if you have family with No matter where
hello i would like to correct about some thing like you can holdhand if you are a husbend and wife or friends , also don't bring gift when someone is inviting you you can gift him by answring his invite and come to his how saudis love dhiafa or hospitality becuse it's used to be a thing arabs world that when we invite someone the guest most feel comfort and happy and the host most make him a coffee tea and a meal mostly diner meal , my point is don't bring a gift you are the gift if you came when someone is invite's you
1. As someone who lives in Saudi I will confirm this, it's ILLEGAL and Prohibeted to take photos of others faces. ( and bodies mainly faces ) 2. They're 5 prayer times per day when Muslims go to Mosques and basically the country shuts down for 5 minutes , but on fridays there is a 30 minute prayer to watch out for ( school days are Sunday - Thursday ) 3. I don't really have to explain this. 4. yea same as ^^^ 5. Mecca has a big cube ( kabaah ) they won't even let you in mecca if you are not Muslim it's not your buisness just don't worry abt it. 6. This one is changing icl since more people from other countries are coming for the good buisness opportunities and most are not muslim its fine to hold hands nothing more affectionate. 7. Yeah In the time I have lived here, never have done this, it's apart of their culture, they are extremely respectful people and will accomadate you with silverware 8. don't worry about this it probably won't happen to you, only if you desire to expierience their culture I have sat in the rooms with the squares and carpets, it's very nice just make sure you take off your shoes. 9. They are asking you to come into their home so it's not needed , but best to take a gift. 10. Wow how many times I have been asked this question by other people. if you make them mad I genuinely think they can be the maddest people ever. The children are EXTREMELY rude, I have heard 5 yr olds talk abt sex here. Some tips: Don't EVER disrepect Islam Be kind They are pretty lazy people because of the no tax and government's free housing which is why so many people from the outside get paid so much to come and work there. A few Arabic words you will need, Salamalakum ( peace be with you ) is the greeting in saudi arabia when returning this after someone said it to you say Walakum salam Marhaban - hello Shukran - Thank you Waalah - I swear to ___ ( I cannot say it because I am chirstian and I'm not praising him but you can fill it in ) whenever they say this its never true icl Oxom ballad - on everything maybe will be true Inshallah - meaning ___ Willing ( never gonna happen ) Like my comment took awhile to write it :)
4:08 you don’t have to give all the family members gifts if you don’t want to but the most important is to give who invited you and the most common gift is money. If you give someone and they start to decline your gift you should insist on giving them if you don’t they’ll think you’re rude and if you insist too much they’ll think you’re annoying took me years to master this 🌞

@@engrved my obsession is trying to figure out how idiots have anything good to say about it. It's one of the last places on earth anyone should ever want to live
This rule is only enforced if you break into someone’s house and steal something extremely valuable, petty theft or shoplifting doesn’t warrant that punishment
1) true for both men and women we value our privacy and our laws and regulations reflect that although most men won't mind it but if someone asks you to delete the footage after you filmed them even if it was in public you must comply 2) kind of true there is no laws that prohibit it but you are in a muslim country so the owner and workers of the shop are most likely muslims which means they most likely will close shop for 20-30m to go pray and come back but some shops don't close during prayer time and you can ask the workers before hand if they will close and if you can stay inside if they close during prayer 3 + 4) true and think of it as a chance drop this bad habits since both are bad for you body and mental health 5) true mecca is visited by millions of muslims every year for religious stuff so we can't let non muslims in since it's already crowded 6) holding hands is ok but remember you are visiting a modest conservative religious country so be mindful. 7) you can use Cutlery (silverware) but if you will use your hand then you need to wash them and use your right hand 8) it's ok if you are with your homies but generally butting your feet at someone's face is not polite 9) it depends on the occasion some times you bring nothing some times you bring some sweats but in general it's not a big deal since in our traditions the host is the one who is obligated to bring the food / coffee etc. 10) truuuuuuuuuuue I hope you will visit saudi arabia and see it's beauty from historical and traditional areas like the southern regions and many other historical areas to the modern cities like Riyadh and Jeddah and sorry if there any linguistic mistakes I'm still learning English
Well, the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (Arabic: هيئة الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر) aka the Mutawa who, when I was there in the 80s ,used to walk around and not be at all coy about whipping people on the spot, might or might not want you to show some proof of it. And still not be happy with you doing it. My main 'don't' recommendation for the bloody country is 'don't visit it in the first place'. Where's the fun in visiting a place with so many prohibitions?
No smoking, alcohol or drugs, to some that might be a deal breaker but to someone who loathes all those things n has experienced knowing people who do those things that’s like a blessing 😂…at least it is to me , who says you need any of those to have a good time ?
as a saudi i"ll say that the 9th point isn't soooo true, that could make the gest imparisd if he didnt have mony to bring something. so yes it's not a good thing to make it a rule.
This is a longer explanation and possible corrections of these 10 things 1 - This should apply to every islamic country and every muglim woman, You should NOT even stare at women if your a guy, You should abstain from looking at them unnecessarily, Quick looks shouldnt be a problem however do make sure you dont look at inappropriate parts, And same goes with unnecessarily and innapropriately talking. (KEEP IN MIND THIS ONLY APPLIES TO GUYS) 2- MOST places are closed temporarily during prayer time, No its not disrespectful or something rather they dont want to lock you in the place so they ask you to leave, They close the shop to basically say "We arent available at the moment" 3 and 4- Yes, Drugs and alcohol is STRICTLY against the law of saudi arabia, This would lead you to very dangerous consequences including a death penalty 5- Mecca is simply not allowed for nonmuslims, Dont try to sneak in there because it would be very disrespectful and very silly/goofy of you, and once again this will lead to consequences 6- Yes, No showing public relationship love, Holding hands (not illega) i would say is rare but i wouldnt say people were to mind. But i recommend still abstaining from doing so 7- Yes, In islam its a sin to eat with your left hand and plus, eating with your right hand shouldnt be a unusual thing so please do eat with your right hand, No this isnt illegal nor really disrespectful but its something you should learn regardless if your muslim or not, in saudi or not 8 is already explained 9- This once again should be applied to your regular life, Gifts really make us feel happy! ESPECIALLY By tourists! 10- This goes with all muslims and all countries. Both the government and the people are extremely nice, sadly tho Western media feeds many people false propaganda. Our government has done amazing things to help tourists and our own people Extra note: please dont get too worried or feel too restricted when visiting saudi, I believe you should already know by now that most of this should be basic morality and do know that even if you do something a bit culturally unusual or disrespectful, Us saudis will most likely not feel offended as we can tell you are tourists and visitors, If you have saudi friends they will also probably kindly correct you.
he said its a hospitality thing not a you must thing, peope wont be angry if you don't do it but if you do peoople will defenetly thank you, I think this its a worldwide thing.
@@1995marixsa he said it's polite to bring a gift when you're invited which is wrong. People in Saudi Arabia basically don't expect from their guests to bring anything. If you bring you "may" embarrass them. If you bring that's not considered politeness and vice versa, I mean if you don't bring anything that won't considered impolite. Wish you got the meaning.
1- it’s ok to eat with your left hand, it’s up to you, no one will force you
2- holding hands is ok!
3- some places close when it’s time to pray, and some don’t
4- bringing a gift when you visit someone is a good thing but not necessary.
its not okay to eat with your left hand its the wrong hand and gift varies to halal and makrooh
What about being gay?

This rule is only enforced if you break into someone’s house and steal something extremely valuable, petty theft or shoplifting doesn’t warrant that punishment
Saudi man here 🤚 and you’re wrong it’s complicated i suggest u do some research before
😂😂😂😂😂
Rightfully so!! Implement this law in the west and you will see crime rates plummet immensely!!
I suppose that this video is for normal people and normal people are not criminals and don't like to steal from anybody.
On 9 most of us Usually We bring sweets and coffee
And from Saudi arabia
I want to go to the You're Cauntry Saudi Arabia
1) true for both men and women we value our privacy and our laws and regulations reflect that although most men won't mind it but if someone asks you to delete the footage after you filmed them even if it was in public you must comply
2) kind of true there is no laws that prohibit it but you are in a muslim country so the owner and workers of the shop are most likely muslims which means they most likely will close shop for 20-30m to go pray and come back but some shops don't close during prayer time and you can ask the workers before hand if they will close and if you can stay inside if they close during prayer
3 + 4) true and think of it as a chance drop this bad habits since both are bad for you body and mental health
5) true mecca is visited by millions of muslims every year for religious stuff so we can't let non muslims in since it's already crowded
6) holding hands is ok but remember you are visiting a modest conservative religious country so be mindful.
7) you can use Cutlery (silverware) but if you will use your hand then you need to wash them and use your right hand
8) it's ok if you are with your homies but generally butting your feet at someone's face is not polite
9) it depends on the occasion some times you bring nothing some times you bring some sweats but in general it's not a big deal since in our traditions the host is the one who is obligated to bring the food / coffee etc.
10) truuuuuuuuuuue
I hope you will visit saudi arabia and see it's beauty from historical and traditional areas like the southern regions and many other historical areas to the modern cities like Riyadh and Jeddah and sorry if there any linguistic mistakes I'm still learning English

2:51 nah that ain’t the reason
That hand is the hand used to clean yourself in the bathroom

Who says holding hands is rare
We literally hold hands all the time as in friendship or being married

Tip No. 11: Take literally only two tips from this list: Photographing women and drugs. The rest of the advice is not important

This is a longer explanation and possible corrections of these 10 things
1 - This should apply to every islamic country and every muglim woman, You should NOT even stare at women if your a guy, You should abstain from looking at them unnecessarily, Quick looks shouldnt be a problem however do make sure you dont look at inappropriate parts, And same goes with unnecessarily and innapropriately talking. (KEEP IN MIND THIS ONLY APPLIES TO GUYS)
2- MOST places are closed temporarily during prayer time, No its not disrespectful or something rather they dont want to lock you in the place so they ask you to leave, They close the shop to basically say "We arent available at the moment"
3 and 4- Yes, Drugs and alcohol is STRICTLY against the law of saudi arabia, This would lead you to very dangerous consequences including a death penalty
5- Mecca is simply not allowed for nonmuslims, Dont try to sneak in there because it would be very disrespectful and very silly/goofy of you, and once again this will lead to consequences
6- Yes, No showing public relationship love, Holding hands (not illega) i would say is rare but i wouldnt say people were to mind. But i recommend still abstaining from doing so
7- Yes, In islam its a sin to eat with your left hand and plus, eating with your right hand shouldnt be a unusual thing so please do eat with your right hand, No this isnt illegal nor really disrespectful but its something you should learn regardless if your muslim or not, in saudi or not
8 is already explained
9- This once again should be applied to your regular life, Gifts really make us feel happy! ESPECIALLY By tourists!
10- This goes with all muslims and all countries. Both the government and the people are extremely nice, sadly tho Western media feeds many people false propaganda. Our government has done amazing things to help tourists and our own people
Extra note: please dont get too worried or feel too restricted when visiting saudi, I believe you should already know by now that most of this should be basic morality and do know that even if you do something a bit culturally unusual or disrespectful, Us saudis will most likely not feel offended as we can tell you are tourists and visitors, If you have saudi friends they will also probably kindly correct you.
Hi. I’m currently in Saudi and I have seen that most malls here don’t have trial rooms. Do you know why?
@@Suzume15803 No i do not know why, and I doubt it has a reason that does anything with our culture or religion
@@Suzume15803 Modesty and the culture of Saudi Arabia. They are a bit traditional.
It's not a sin to eat using your left hand, it is simply sunnah to eat using your right and avoid using your left.
they will NOT kick u out of a restaurant during prayer times, that's an exaggeration
Number 9 is incorrect...you don't have to bring with you anything at all.
he said its a hospitality thing not a you must thing, peope wont be angry if you don't do it but if you do peoople will defenetly thank you, I think this its a worldwide thing.
@@1995marixsa he said it's polite to bring a gift when you're invited which is wrong. People in Saudi Arabia basically don't expect from their guests to bring anything. If you bring you "may" embarrass them. If you bring that's not considered politeness and vice versa, I mean if you don't bring anything that won't considered impolite. Wish you got the meaning.

Even for Muslims, there's limits. We have to fill an application. And if it's full, we can't go there.
holding hands is fine and it is part of culture.

On 2 don’t: almost every one in Saudi Arabia who works in restaurants are Muslim so they have to take a break to go to the Mosque to pray
