Middle East Travel - Tropical Paradise in Saudi Arabia? Umluj islands أملج المملكة العربية السعودية

- Umluj is an island group on the tropical Red Sea coast in Saudi Arabia. It is known for its unspoiled islands and beautiful beaches. There are a total of 104 islands here, varying in size. Some people have nicknamed Umluj as the Maldives of Saudi Arabia. In this video, I travel to the islands with a local fisherman, and explore the islands from various angles.
This is the fourth episode of a 6 part vlog style series about my journey through Saudi Arabia. For other episodes, please click here:

Saudi Arabia has long been off limits to foreign tourists and travelers. Since a few months, however, it’s possible to visit the country on a tourist visa. I made use of this opportunity and traveled solo to Saudi Arabia for 2 weeks, including Riyadh, the Edge of the World, Medina, Al Ula, Umluj, Jeddah and the Red Sea coast.
Saudi Arabia is mostly known in the ‘Western world’ for its petroleum export, the birthplace of Islam, and unfortunately also poor human rights record. But as I discover there is much more to this massive country than first meets the eye. In these series I hope to give a glimpse into what was once an almost ‘forbidden place’ for independent travelers, and is now open for visitors from around the world.

املج مدينة ساحلية من المدن الواقعة في غرب المملكة كانت تسمى قديماً ( لوكا كومي ) وتعني المدينة البيضاء وبعد ذلك سميت بالحوراء وبعدها سميت (بأم اللج ) لكثرة لج البحر فيها حتى اصبح اسمها ( املج) .. تحياتي لكم من بنت جهينة 🌹
May I visit you from australia.

Omg I can’t believe this is on Saudi Arabia
You can believe 😎
There’s more than you Imagine we don’t live in desert only there’s everything you can imagine from forest to snow
Oh believe it😊. That's why the Media is horrible in portraying Middle Easterns.. we are very nice, social, funny and have a beautiful country..Different but beautiful.
اااخخخ كنت دايم اروحها مع عيال عمي احلى بحر احلى هدوء واحلى ناس كنز مدفون ذي المدينه

ياهلا باهل املج
أملجناا 😭🧡
I really like the Cinematography. Good to see a nice video. A lot of tourists who go to Saudi Arabia show disrespectful things that go against general Saudi image. Glad to see a video that is not like that, showing nice local life, fishing and nice educational video. My husband is Saudi but he has never been to this place.
omg that so amazing it like Maldives😍😍😍😍
Saudi's Maldives. This country Has huge potencial.. hope they use it right.
This city is the location for the mega red sea project, which is going to compete with the Maldives and similar places, the project is currently under construction and the first phase which will include 14 hotels with 4800+ rooms on 5 islands, a desert resort, mountain resort, and a new international airport, the first phase will open in 2022. so not too long to wait.
You are right, the atmosphere will change.
Saudi Arabia has alot off virgin areas with its incredible vews and a thousend of a historical area not yet discovered 👌
now I am working here really good scene umluj city and Red Sea.
Glad you liked it :)

Visit Al Jubail (Royal Commission & Fanateer beach)
Video was very small and it is purely injustice to think umluj is only what shown in this video..! umluj is very big with many ultimate scenic locations
Thanks, I hope to visit more of Umluj in the future!
بسم الله الرحمٰن الرحیم❤
مصطفٰی جانِ رحمت پہ لاکھوں کروڑوں درود و سلام❤
کالیاں زلفاں والا دکھی دلاں دا سہارا
قسم خدا دی مینوں سب نالوں پیارا
دساں کی میں مصطفٰی دی کِڈی سونڑای شان اے
آپ دی تعریف وچ سارا ای قرآن اے
پڑھ کےتو ویکھ جیہڑا مرضی سپارہ
قسم خدا دی مینوں سب نالوں پیارا
it's so beautiful calm and clean cuz small population of ppl live there
This is my City Welcome

Great palace

you can bring a drone to Saudi? how did you get the amazing drone footage?
Back in 2019 there was little to no drone regulation, but I do think that has changed now.
Thanks

WoW
Nice video .How did you manage to take video with drone ? What is the process to use a drone to shoot videos in umluj?
Thank you, we asked some security personnel on the ground (well, in the sea).
SUBHANALLAH

Go to jeddah is beautiful .☹👌🏼✨
Wow
The well of the Prophet Moses, Mount Moses, and the location of the daughter of the Prophet Shuaib, who married Prophet Moses from his daughter in the northwest of the Kingdom and is an Arab woman.
The name of the city: Al-Bada'a
Mugha'ir Shu'ayb - Madyan
This area will be part of the NEUM projects And near the beaches of Muqna, which is beautiful
very beautiful Tiran Islands and Sanafir Saudi Arabia
Northwest of the kingdom, go there ... the Red Sea islands between the city of Umluj and Wajh..you will find dolphins and clean beaches.
It is better to visit the city of Al Bad (Madyan). There are the ruins of the Prophet Yethro, Jabal Musa and Bir Musa, and beautiful beaches near it, such as Muqna Beach, Sharma Beaches, Khurama Beaches, Tiran Islands and Sanafir
And the city of Tayma to see other Archaeology
The city of Al-Ula has four ancient civilizations such as the Thamud civilization, the Nabatean civilization, the Lihyan civilization, and the Dedan civilization are among the most important cultural heritage sites and it is the largest open museum in the world
Thanks for the suggestions!
