Our SHOCKING First Impressions of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 Exploring Jeddah

Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed! Lots more to come ❤ please follow us on Instagram instagram.com/dabbleandtravel?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2Y…

The Saudi people are renowned for their generosity and kindness ... I wish you a pleasant stay ❤️

1:16 one thing you should know, is Saturday in Saudi is the equivalent of Sunday in the West. This is because the next day (Sunday) is the start of the work week, while Thursday is the end of the work week. Friday and Saturday are the weekend.

I fell in love with Jeddah when I was 9 years old. It is a magical city. And, yes, Saudi hospitality is truly next level.

Love Saudia from Algeria 🇩🇿🇸🇦😍

This is a lovely look into Saudi Arabia and I love to hear the Azan, the Islamic Call To Prayer - it reminds me of the Angelus Bell at Midday & 6pm from our local Catholic Church when I go home to my family, where I grew up in a rural area in the Republic of Ireland, even though I’ve lived here in Manchester U.K. for 21 years - the shopping mall is giving me vibes of both the Blanchardstown Centre in Dublin and the Trafford Centre here in Manchester

I hope you enjoyed visiting Jeddah as well. I hope you visit Abha, Taif, and the cool places in the summer, not Jeddah, because it is very hot, and the times for Saudis are after six o'clock in the evening. Welcome to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.❤

Jeddah has the worst weather in summer in Saudi 😩 it’s final exams period these days too and everyone is home studying 😂 if you’re staying a little longer in Saudi I recommend you visiting Abha if want nicer weather, nature and so on, And of course I recommend you visiting Riyadh as it is the capital and most changes are happening there. And welcome to Saudi 🤍

Welcome to my country. We are glad to have you here and thank you for showing the beauty of Jeddah city, the hospitality and kindness of Saudi people. Things are changing rapidly regarding tourism and I just wanted to give some comments and tips: 1. Summer is very hot in most of the cities - even for us as locals - except in few cities in the southern region. So most of the people will not go out until sunset. In the morning or afternoon you'll find them either in malls or closed restaurants with air conditioning. 2. Public transportation is not well established, so you either have to rent a car or use Uber or taxis. Walking is not a choice and most of the roads are not walking friendly. 3. Shops and restaurants are not forced now to close during prayer times. It's optional and depends on the owners. And if you are inside a shop or restaurant during prayer time you are free to leave anytime. No body should keep you inside. 4. Always check google maps and social media for the place you want to visit to make sure it's open and that you don't need to make a reservation. It's better also to give them a call before going out. 5. You can wear whatever you want but of course with modesty. Shorts are allowed for men. Women are not forced to cover their hair or to wear abaya. 6. Arabic coffee tastes different, it's usually presented everywhere as a welcome drink, it's polite to drink at least one cup but after that you can apologize for not having a 2nd cup. In our tradition, if you don't refuse drinking the host will keep pouring coffee for you a cup after another. 7. Always ask locals about the best restaurants and places. Most of the information on the internet is outdated. We wish you a pleasant stay and can't wait for the coming exciting vlogs!

I'm from the UK born and bred from Nottingham, and Muslim, travelled to many countries around the world (over 35 countries to be precise). And been to Saudi Arabia 5 times either for Umrah or Hajj pilgrimage to Makkah (and Madinah) but I did stay in Jeddah for 3 nights on one of the Umrah trips and Corniche is definitely my favourite part of Jeddah. And yes I went to Masjid Ar Rahma (The Floating Mosque), There is another floating mosque in Malaysia called the Melaka Strait Mosque in Melaka which I went to as well. Many locals tend to come out at after sunset but during the day you will barely see anyone around - however there wasn't that many locals in the evening in your video - I'm pretty sure there are normally more than that

We are happy to watch your videos in Saudi Arabia

I worked in SA for almost 5 years and have a good idea of life , people . But you should take a trip to Abha , its truely a unique place and worth a visit

Thank u for your showing your exploratioms n your 1st impressions of Jeddah. Wonderful.

This is fantastic KSA is on my list some day. Thank you for sharing. The no one else walking 😂 reminded me of when I went to Wadi Musa, Jordan (where Petra is located) and I just wanted to walk and get lost between alleys and didn't see others walking but I needed to be In the moment as I walked around Wadi Musa, the hills, and it was Fabulous actually stayed there for 3 months 😂 it was incredible ✨ hope to visit again there too.

I really loved the hospitality 👏👏👏

In the south of Saudi Arabia the weather in the summer is cool and beautiful 🤍

I love Saudi dates! Great to see you both exploring a place that is new on the tourism journey.

In Jeddah, there are many of the most beautiful voices of mosque imams who recite the Qur’an in a very beautiful voice. If I had a suggestion, I would have said try asking permission to watch the dawn prayer at the King Fahd Mosque in Jeddah
