One cannot watch this video (let alone any of your videos) without a perpetual smile and absolute pure joy circulating throughout the veins. This video was a true adventure. The people you came into contact with were all so friendly and hospitable. Thank you for being a beautiful light in the world. God bless you 75 pretty cool plane logo. Quite the cliff hanger ending; I look forward to the next episode.

Wow! Another new and unique experience. I just love traveling with you. Keep up the good work. WONDERFUL!

I watch you as much as I can. I am going to watch this because my son-in-law is coming back from Saudi Arabia tonight. I'm proud of what he does, but it is difficult in travel - and you do that all the time. He manages sound systems, and does the mixing at performances. It was his first time there as well. I look forward to hearing his experience albeit he probably did not have much free time. Thanks Donnie for all of our videos. I have never been disappointed!

Loving the new experiences and the new locations Mike. Keep travelling and taking us with you.....looking forward to next week and the next adventure.

What a cool video man! I’m excited to see what’s coming next week 👀 And very happy to have shared this experience with you 🙏🏼

You do the coolest things! All the beauty surrounding you, it deeply saddens me that there is war near by. We need peace and brotherhood.

Love the historical reenactment, that is really cool and a fun way to bring the liveliness into consideration that those ruins once had in their heyday.

This was so amazing to see and you are so blessed to have experienced this adventure and take me along

Your videos always make me feel like I'm right there beside you. What a fantastic experience!

So much of that scenery just looks like someone built it for a movie set! It almost doesn't look real. Absolutely incredible!

I love watching people going to different places! It is so entertaining! 😄

Incredible. Loved this video and can’t wait til the next instalment. And business class. Love it. That’s the way travel should be for everyone.

What a fantastic opportunity for you. I glad your enjoying it and sharing with us.

We just never know what adventures we will discover next! How awesome! Thanks Mike! Stay safe!

I strongly recommend you to visit Najran since you’re already in the country (it’s my hometown and it’s really worth visiting)

Except I didn’t get paid any money for this video (just gifted free flights by Red Bull), but I see your sentiment, and honestly… that Vancouver Park video was when I almost quit. I guess you never know how far you’ll make it one day. Thanks for the support.

It's a good thing the race isn't held in July, it's held in the middle of the northern winter. Everyone is still wearing t shirts in the middle of the day. It's a brutal place.

Now that's is what you call an adventure! Can't wait for next week!

Its a good day when a Downie Live video drops!

Thanks Mike for another great adventure. I can't wait for next week!

This was truly unique, even for your channel, which is always full of surprises, when you said you would surprise us with what you were going to Arabian desert for, my guess was an auto race. I would never have guessed a falcon race viewed from an indoor facility. those rock formations were reallly stunning as well.

I've been following you for years and coincidentally have been looking at Alula as a travel destination for a small group trip I'm planning. You're the first vlogger I've seen actually go there, so thank you! I heard they have just started to develop this area for tourism, and I guess your promo trip means they are officially ready to welcome visitors. Would you say so?

​@@DownieLive Thanks for the response! The places you went in this video looked a bit like tourist traps, and not even ones designed for English speakers. Did you happen to notice if there are opportunities for an English guide to take you out into the dessert for more of a real exploration of ruins, without actors and candles everywhere?

Sure does look like Utah, where I live. You're right, Michael! Thanks for the trip!❤🎉

What an amazing trip Mike! You’re one lucky guy. Keep up the good work.

Awesome that you get to go to the launch of the aston martin F1 car!

Love this .. what a beautiful spot ! Excited for next weeks full episode !

They have a beautiful country. Reminds me of the desert where I live, near Palm Springs. Love the desert. Just not loving California anymore, I need a slower paced city life.

That is awesome. Freaking cool. I only be able to travel once in a while that is why I always look into your youtube channel.

Beautiful place!!

i found this channel through the narrow boating in wales series of videos. and since those series i would love to see you do Göta kanal in sweden including göta älv. wich makes you travel across the entire country. i was personally unable to find anyone on YT who has filmed the entire journey through.

I heard of Emirates but first time seeing someone on it. Very nice. Lot of attention to detail with stars on ceiling and the Polaroid idea. Too bad about the rush and not seeing their lounge. But the airports seem like size of West Edmonton mall so you had to rush :)

Hahaha, true! The airport was huge!

I lived in worked in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, the desert is an amazing place to see. Yes, it's a different world over there in terms of freedoms, and customs, the best of advice I was given was " this is Rome".... and we all know what comes after that. One of the things that jumped out at me while transiting through Dubai, all the clocks on the walls in the airport are made by Rolex.

5:18 We Stan a considerate Canadian.

That experience in the ancient city is cool. What a great idea to get people involved in the history rather than just walk thru a museum. Museums are great, but experiences make better memories 😊
