We Went To Saudi Arabia.
In today's episode, we take you along on one of our craziest trips so far. Never in a million years did we think we'd go to Saudi Arabia this soon. Then, all of a sudden, we decided to just do it.
We were hesitant to go given all we’ve read about the country.
During our journey to 100 countries and beyond, we will undoubtedly visit countries where we don’t agree with certain laws or practices, and personally, we don’t want this to stop us from going.
After all, how can we build understanding if we refuse to meet people, or are not open-minded enough to talk to someone who might disagree with us? We need more understanding, respect, and international cooperation, not greater divides.
Our intention has always been to use our platform as a personal diary to look back on, and we want to take every opportunity we can to grow and learn more about the world.
More videos from Saudi Arabia coming soon!🇸🇦
Thank you for always supporting us and being the best people on the planet🌍❤️

We are Oskar & Dan, two boys from Sweden who decided to change the course of our lives, drop out of university and live life full-time. We're planning to visit every country in the world eventually, with an initial goal of 100 before the end of 2022. By the time of posting this video, we're both 24 :)
Saudi Arabia was country #83/197🌍

As a Saudi who travels a lot, I noticed that safety point as well. All the places I’ve traveled to I have witness crime on the street. Not done to me, but I was a direct eye witness to countless crimes on the street and that never happened once in all my life living in Saudi Arabia

As a Saudi, I resist watching these videos, I thought it would be another misrepresentation video, but I really enjoyed this! You know how to spend your time. P.s: regarding the visa and what you had to sign, I wish you could see what we go through as Saudis to apply for American visas, we are treated like guilty until proven otherwise, and when we’ve arrived to NYC, people rudely took pictures of us because we were wearing abayas. In short, misrepresentation from both sides.

"Why most of the places are deserted, like no one else is there" -> It's because of the hot weather, most people stay indoors during the day until 6pm-7pm. People usually goes out at round 7pm-8pm especially after Isha prayer. Stores closes at around 12AM. During Ramadan, stores closes at around 5AM.

I moved to KSA two years ago with my Saudi husband. All in all, it is a very safe country and the people are very welcoming. I was pretty confused too when I first moved here about why the people are not as active during the day, but I believe it is because 1. the weather, 2. prayer times, and 3. they are just night owls. And just like in the U.S. there are nice parts and not so nice parts. As well as some areas being more conservative than others. But the nightlife is great! And they are big on mocktails, you'll find them everywhere. I love changing peoples perceptions about Saudi, considering most people in the U.S. only know things from the news or film portrayal's. You guys are changing a lot of peoples perceptions!

there is a lot of things in Saudi Arabia that u can't even imagine 😍 it's amazing
As someone who does not like to interfere in politics, but who encourages social openness, what Mohammed bin Salman has done during these short years deserves to be applauded. I will not listen to the Western media because it operates according to agendas and political parties. What I see is that the Saudis are happy and proud, they breathe freedom, entertainment and fun and love the Crown Prince, so why do Western newspapers attack them? Saudi Arabia has become a promising tourist destination, and with the end of the mega projects, it will have a global stature. I have already visited AlUla and have never found such a magical place in my life besides the generosity and love that the Saudis offer me.

As someone who spent most of their childhood in Riyadh, it was so heartwarming seeing you explore the streets I knew like the back of my hand. Although I never loved Riyadh as a city to live in, I do miss it now that I’m too far away. This was so beautiful
Regarding your question about the Mall, so this is one of the oldest malls in Saudi Arabia and especially in Riyadh ( Mool AlMamlakah or Mall of Kingdom ) and the reason why no one or only few people go there is that there are newer and more modern styled malls such as AlNakheel Mall and Riyadh Park and soon enough there will be one the largest malls in the world which is Saudia Mall. I'm pretty sure Faisal did his best showing you around, I wish he could have showed you Hanifa Valley one of the most beautiful areas we go to in the winter where we camp there, also Riyadh Front which is like a long path with restaurants, cafes, and stores. As a Saudi, I can proudly say that we have come a long way and I hope to see my country the number 1 destination for tourists !

I’ve always been fascinated or intrigued by The KSA so I watched this video with keen interest. Again, your presentation albeit only the initial one, had me captivated. Something about a vlog being narrated by the most likeable ‘boys’ on KZread. AND, when the content is of the mysterious Saudi Arabia….this is going to be epic. Looking forward to more… (I follow you too on IG).

You guys are funny to watch 🤣 and welcome to Saudi Arabia i hope u have a blast here😊
Wow! This is amazing! I've recently been super curious about this country! You guys are best!
I lived in Saudi due to my dad working out there. We lived in a compound but would go out in the day. I loved it! That was 15 years ago. I'd love to go back

For some reason I thought you have already been to Saudi Arabia. I must have combined all your other Middle East country adventures and assumed that you've been to all the places. And I think I always assumed that all the Middle East countries had this level of restrictions and always found it interesting how freely you have traveled to Qatar, UAE, etc. As a woman I have been interested in how it would be to travel to Middle East countries. Your nervousness around Saudi Arabia travel are what I assumed my experience for all travel to the Middle East would be. This was really so informative.

The other Gulf countries are very different! Doesn't always look like it on paper, but the reality on the ground is. Thank you🙏
It’s truly amazing how Saudi Arabia has opened up so much, I remember a day when basically no non-muslim was allowed into the country.

Man you’ve been lied to for decades, you people don’t read or what? If someone came to you with some news go make a research, confirm the information at least, never seen such ignorance in my life 🤣 Non Muslims have been living here longer than I’ve been alive, we actually had christian neighbors for six years, they were Egyptian and they were amazing people. We just simply don’t have churches and we don’t allow non Muslims to enter two cities, the holy cities 😂

Well, actually non-Muslims can enter Medina, in fact they (the two gentlemen who made this Video) visited Medina and made a Video about it, you can check it on their account

We planned girls trip to Saudi Arabia next year this video definitely help to actually see how is the city looks like. Looks safe and beautiful country worth to visit👍
Saudi is very welcoming to tourists since 2019 when tourism visas were first issued, and I met people from all around the world in the capital, Riyadh. Most of them speak highly of how hospitable and helpful the people are, and how it's really safe in KSA. That's very reassuring as not too long ago we didn't have a tourism business, except religious tourism if you wanna call it that, and many people abroad are lead to believe that Saudi is almost another planet, while we're all humans at the end of the day. The only reason you got that disclaimer at 2:25 is just so a visitor is aware of the different laws which's actually very nice as in most countries, you'll only know about their unique laws once you're arrested. Saudi welcomes all people and their different beliefs, and you're way less likely to get in trouble here as a tourist than many other places in the world, including western countries, as most people in SA are considerate, especially for tourists, so the only way something might happen after all of these measures is in case of extreme negligence or intentional lawbreaking. 30% of the population aren't even Saudi nationals and are living in Saudi for jobs they hold, and they're appreciated and have been a part of society for decades, so it'd be farfetched to think it's gonna be a big deal for someone staying less than 6 months traveling around as our beloved guests and crimes are either pretty universal or very obvious as soon as you land here with a very basic idea about the Islamic way of life. I personally can't wait to see you and for you to experience what our huge country has to offer! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised ❤️
Loved your experience, welcome to Saudi Arabia!
Thanks so much Oskar and Dan for this lovely travel video. I was intrigued about Saudi Arabia, but never having been there, was very much a mystery to me. I really would love to visit Saudi Arabia. The desert mountains looked amazing... some really nice clips you filmed there. I will have to find a good friend from Saudi Arabia who can be my guide, but definately your video has inspired me and I have elevated Saudi Arabia to quite high on my to do list for the next year or so.... I love the way you guys present yourselves, both in your travel videos and on your airline reviews as well. Keep it up.

welcome to Saudi Arabia, i hope you had fun there!
This place I remember very clear I was in it in the new year it was amazing to discover my country and be in a peaceful place like that I see why you wanted to stay longer, I'm glad you two had fun in Saudi and we welcome you guys any time💚
I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia and yes, seeing this transition makes me very happy. It always was one of the safest country in the world and still is. My father came here in 70s. And he saw the first transformation of Kingdom building itself. And now, we are witnessing the second transformation. With Kingdom opening its doors for visitors, it is welcoming them to be part of the incredible Vision 2030 which will make Saudi Arabia one of the leading countries in the world. People are very friendly, generous and welcoming. The experience this country offers is amazing and you'll not get them anywhere.
Welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
I am flying to Saudi Arabia after 17 days. Thank you for this video Oskar and Dan!
