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 💚💙

Why?
I've travelled a lot on Saudia and I have always appreciated their great service (even without the drinks). Amazing people!
I went with Saudia from Frankfurt via Jeddah to Seoul and I’ve never had such a great experience, I would fly with them again

I enjoyed traveling to saudi last year it was a great experience .. the people were nice , the food was on top ❤
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
CONGRATULATIONS "SAUDIA" MashaaALLAH , what a beautiful plane! What a great Jubilation! What a charming and shinning GREEN COLOR .... ALLAH YAHAFAZAK AMIN
I love they brought back the original livery from my childhood. Looks soooo cool.
As a Saudi, I enjoyed this vlog, the landing shot at night was breathtaking. Thanks to you, you pictured our beloved city AlUla wonderfully.
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.

I flew the “old” Saudia. It was great then. Back to the future!
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.

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 KZread, and Sam's videos, I feel as if I have already been there.

Old livery is new again. Remember this from the 80s.
Old memories of 1980’s . Forever Green, undoubtedly this livery is really beautiful! ❤
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!
Amazing. Now I wanna fly to there to try the cuisine & gaze into the sceneries .. ❤ thank u Sam for sharing your experience!
Absolutly stunning! Would love to visit Saudia Arabia in the future!
Thanks Sam and Thank you Saudia for sharing this special trip. It’s great to see your flight service and new branding.
Wow! Thanks for the videos, Sam! Thanks for explaining Not only about the airlines but also about the Alula!❤
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.
Loved The cockpit views and beautiful mountains
Yay. Love the new look. Very refreshing. Great vid. Saudi is doing a great job in tourism sector.
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.
The new Saudi theme music is my ring tone. Loved it ❤
Amazing landscapes !!!!
Beautiful place in earth
Very impressive. I cannot wait to visit KSA. Thanks for sharing.
WOW, this is so cool! Amazing location, amazing A321neo, and great video.
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
Thank you. Sam It was so much pleasure to watch it.
i love this saudi airlines retro livery 😍
Lovely! Loved the peppy music! 😍
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.

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😀👍.
Living a great life! Love the channel
Very nice Air-Space interior...love love love
Love the new livery. To describe it in one word ….. Fresh!
Nice livery, and a refreshing cabin inside an A321neo
Good to see the transformation.
Incredible video, Sam! Thanks for showing us some beautiful landscapes of Saudi Arabia.
The shot of the takeoff, from inside the cockpit was very cool.
The number one best aviation KZreadr is back! keep up the good work Sam:)
Yaya love the landings and take off
Wow! This is nice and thanks for sharing
Fascinating inside plane, fascinating outside countryside
Beautiful Country and amazing video Sam
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.
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
Saudia Airlines is amazing! Excited to board on one of this soon! OFW from Philippines
Amazing everything 💚🇸🇦
Very nice traditional livery for Saudia 😊 Very lucky to travel on charter flight to Al Ura. Very nice A321neo interior 🎉
I love his travels
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.
3:23-3:36 that livery looks 👍cool, gives a 20th century vintage-retro style vibe.
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.
LOVE this new livery!!!
I love it. The livery is the former Saudia livery. Beautiful. Love the new uniforms.

Always wanted to go Al-Ula!
Sam, Thank You for sharing this lovely vlog of Saudi Arabia new tourists destination. Amazing scenery. The plane new rebranding looking great.
Love the improved livery. Three decades in the past I experienced the privilege of traveling in a Saudia Lockheed L1011 and Boeing 747. Similar livery.
Love the rebranding ..
OLD IS GOLD I LIKE IT
Great landing in the way back 👌
very beautiful thanks sam
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.
