- Today I'm spending $100 in Riyadh, starting with a local breakfast, and moving along by discovering the city and its malls. For lunch, I try the country's famous fast food chain called Al Baik.
I'll end my day by having a great dinner and meeting my friend @worldnomac who tells me about his journey in KSA.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below, and where should I go next?

Those plastic bags are biodegrade, and there is a law for all the plastic bags to be biodegradable, they turn into pieces within months after being exposed to heat and humidity, but still they should use less.
If you ask an expert in that matter in any Saudi municipality and the world, they will till you other wise. Biodegradable plastic bags are a lie just because it crumbles that doesn’t mean it’s going anywhere.
البلاستيك المتحلل كذبة.
Yup, and every plastic product in Saudi Arabia is 100% recyclable.
Btw they will open the first metro line in early 2024 😅 so you don't have to worry about them 40 dollars next time lol. In total there's 6 lines underground, street and above level for the train... 95% of the metro and stations are finished and if you're in Riyadh long enough you always see them testing it, also the bus network started working. There's a seventh line that would be add in upcoming years that would link few areas that are being built right now! By 2030 this city will be sooo different when the other mega projects finish.
Wow, I love to hear that! It's not just about the money but also the sustainability and ease of transport with less traffic. I didn't see any announcements about the Metro line or busses tho, but thanks for sharing
@@uptinsthey already started the Riyadh bus they have app and you can go with like 4 riyals to any destination it's slow but when metro start it'll be better as connections
Still not open
It’s not even close to being ready to open. At least another year or more.
@@Hollow0423 inshallah
I believe you were at the hayat mall. It's one of the oldest malls in Riyadh there's another right next to it. This mall is very old which is what there's a renovation
No more taxis required in Riyadh next year as the Riyadh metro will open.
Maaaaannnn 15$ for breakfast is wild
- I’m from Saudi Arabia btw
Texas Chicken is called Church's in the US and New York Fries is a Canadian fast food chain.
Wow I never knew Church's is Texas Chicken and no we don't have New York fries in NYC so it must be Canadian.
@@Grimmes12 yeah its cause when they tried to expand into countries with not a huge christian population(Asia & Africa), they changed it to sound more "American" as it would sound better and tbh i agree
Due you should have like a million subscribers. Highly underrated channel.
Thank you so much! Check out my main channel too, @Uptin where I make documentaries about many topics
I always want to visit Saudi though, it is such a mystery to me.
ur welcome anytime broo
Was not expecting Riyad to be such a lively city.
The miracle of air conditioning.
We eat all the day for 10 dollar 😂
Uhh u realize that most of the restaurants that he’s going for is fancy restaurants
Riyadh is absolutely incredible.
Thank you
كلن يمدح بقله يا احمد
ولا؟
You should go the southern part of Saudi Arabia
Actually if you had skipped 2 rides, you might have had 20 bucks back. I love your videos. Very informative and interesting!
Thanks for watching! Yeah I used 2 rides that were a bit underwhelming but had to try the places!
No buses?
@@jeromefitzroyyes actually there is buses and soon there will be a train
@@mishal5611
You mean metro
There are many buses for only one dollar in many bus stations, and also the Riyadh Metro at the beginning of the year 2024 will be ready next month.
I saw your video Short on flat sheet (bedding), so I am commenting here. I am Generation X from the US, and I stopped using a flat (top) sheet 35 years ago. It never made sense to me (too tight in the feet area).
I ate Al Baik at Dubai Mall and it was surprisingly cheap it was great bang for your buck. Blvd is like Dubai Global Village on steroids.
I'm surprised that you didn't use public transport bus you could've saved a lot of money
You should visit Jeddah if you haven't i can also recommend few places for you to visit if you want
Jeddah problem is the weather.. it's too hot and only gets mild for like 1 month in a year.. Riyadh and other Saudi cities get almost 4 months of cool weather, and sometimes very cold even.
Go to Manama, Bahrain next
Nice and greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩 hopefully will be upcoming the great vlogs and really entertaining and will informative. Be well and be safe 🙏😊
I hope so too!
😮 I never thought that in my life time 😮 A Persian aka Irani 🇮🇷 will be roaming freely in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦. Personally, I love ❤️ it & hope both countries Stop their little adventures in our land 🇵🇰. 😉
... Iranians were never banned from traveling to Saudi Arabia. Lol. Why are you so surprised.
@@Ahmed-pf3lgas Saudian Government says they’re our enemy but we say That we’re neutral with them
Nice day and thanks for sharing. The levant salad is a Palestinian salad FYI.
5:03 correction boulevard world entry fees 29 sar = 8$
For real? I did my research and it said $35 - $40, thanks for letting me know
@@uptinsMost likely 35-40 Riyal not Dollars depending on the day
Welcome to Saudi Arabia

In the world??
Very good point about the plastic bags 👍
Thank you!
even in supermarket and conv. store they are like that. most of the time i bring my eco bag and they we're clueless wat the hell im doing. haha. ❤dammam ksa. but from Phils 😄
Texas Chicken = Church’s in the states.
You should meet me and then I will let you really explore the best spots in Riyadh and our local restaurants 😊
you could have done a lot with that 100$, you did not move right hahaha.. holla at me next time I gotcha you.
Haha! Would love to
INTERESTING HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
After I came across investment platform of Mrs Dorothy Wallace my financial life has totally changed. I'm not bothered about the market fluctuations.
I have heard a lot about investments with Dorothy Wallace and how good she is, please how safe are the profits?
Same here, I earn $13,000 a week. GOD bless Dorothy Wallace, she has been a blessing to my family.
Mrs Dorothy is the best expert trader I have seen on a certified broker, I've invested with her for years. Profits are secured and over a 100 percent return on investment. Everyone she processes his or her trade is so lucky, all you have to do is believe in her and follow her guidance. Then sip your drink and relax.
You should go to Greece
We have uber too
the last restaurant prices are foul.
hoooly.
welocme to saudi arabia 👍
Well! It sound’s gorgeous place but I am curious to know is there alcohol beverages avilable a😊nowhere in Saudi Arabia ? Without that there is no fun for me. Please advise about that .
No we don’t want Drunk people in our country
Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country so I don’t think so
Alcohol consumption and production is banned
go to riyadh park its modern and better why old malls?
Why didn’t you go to Riyadh Park mall and others
Next time I will! For the sake of time and budget :)
@@uptins welcome 🙏❤️
@@uptinsalso you should’ve ate the fool with the bread 😂
Nice 👍🏼
The other reason you see more locals working on Uber and some other stores is because of their rules. Foreigners can't have certain types of jobs, they're only reserved for locals.
Oh yeah I did hear about that. What do you think about this rule?
@@uptins it took away jobs from a lot of the foreigners that were living there just to encourage locals to work.
Every now and then, they'll come up with a new rule that certain occupations are now meant for Saudis only. A single organization must keep a set amount of Saudis in the company otherwise it won't let them renew the residence permit (iqama).
Just because of this, I had to leave Saudi.
@@izhanshafiq324so ur sad because Saudis are finally getting jobs in Saudi Arabia ?
@@dimples5058 no, because in order to create jobs, they literally had to kick people out of the jobs/country. That's what I didn't like.
Banning professions for already settled businesses for years that were already settled.
No way you acc arguing that Saudis finally started to get jobs in Saudi Arabia is a bad thing.
Go back to your country andd demand more jobs.
Was it a 100 US or in their currency?
probably our currency but he just converted the currency
I actually pay using the local currency which is Saudi Riyal, but for the sake of the video I convert to USD
you took yourself. You can hail "gypsy" cabs for a fraction of the cost. Just reach out your hand. Chains also cost more than family owned businesses.
That is so inconvenient for niqab women that they have to share with men, as a non niqab or muslim you probably wouldn't understand but if you are a niqab you don't want to remove you covering for men being in a different section is way convenient as you can take of your niqab or even hijab whenever you want.
You could have rented a car through the rental agency Lumi. It would have been $25 a day.
Thanks for the tip
It would been nice if you said price in riyals to with usd
1 USD = 3.75 RIYALS
@@Krim_101 that I know but thing is is better to say in local currency because what is is telling us round figured
@@jaivekkanabar6865 i agree
Texas chicken is church’s chicken the the US
wow very expensive
Nice video. But I want to mention that the music you used is actually not a Saudi music or even Arabic. It a stereotype music that been created by Hollywood movies when they show the Middle East and we don’t listen to it 😅😅
I wasn't trying to use 'Arabic music', It just was vibey and I liked it
Travel to India. Order in chaos
Yes, the population of Saudi Arabia is 30 million, but the number of Saudis is only 18 million
The bags are biodegradable and this is written on them
Saudia Arabia is kinda totally different now, i remember before you dont even allowed to take picture or videos of kids and females…
why would you want to take pictures of kids and famillies you creep
I had no idea Saudi Arabia was so expensive
Yeah but you can also find some good deals! Especially outside of Riyadh
After COVID-19 pandemic, everything in Saudi Arabia have inflated crazily at least +50%
uh...you went to Fares breakfast, one of the most expensive breakfast restaurants in saudi arabia, also not that good, only rich people or people who don't know what to do with their money go to there.
15 dollars is too expensive for a breakfast
Yeah you're right, but so worth it
In saudi arabia u can have breakfast for 1$ and up to 100$+ dollars.
You went to super $$$ places
You can minimize the prices
This isnt the affordable saudi anymore .....it has become very expensive as heck .
I don't know how the prices were before but yeah I can imagine. I'm sure it's different outside of Riyadh though
only Riyadh is expensive, but other cities are quite affordable.
Come to Kuwait. Visit avenues mall, you gonna love it.
Omg Avenues is so long it goes on forever.
Only 14 million are local population the rest is labour from poor countries like india Nepal Sri lanka Phillipines africa etcetc
No way filipinos are poor. They earn more money than you 😂
Breakfast is expensive, u can breakfast for 2$
wow! What will you get with that?
@@uptinsprobably the same but in cheaper restaurants chins , more cozy experience with middle class people
Sri Lanka !!!!
Small correction, Saudis are not 30 million, they are only 18 million and the rest are foreign labor.
😂
Go to alahsa, eastern region Saudi
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@BIGBWAR2929 what's so funny
$100/day? That’s horrible. Very expensive.
Yeah depends on the city
Just say ur poor lol
Bro went to expensive places
cry about it

Am I the only one who feels this is a paid video ?
I feel the same..it just doesn’t feel like any other vlogging vids you see
Who's paying him then??
Yup, definitely just an advertisement for Saudi Arabia. So much BS and lies. I'm all for Uptin getting his money but this was definitely a government sponsored video.
@@JohnSkyLey Obviously MBS, genius.
@@dickriggles942 Yeah Saudi Arabia doesn't do that💀💀
the foul is pronounced "fool"
albaik taste just as the same as other fast food..i do not understand the hype
faaaaool
Why Saudi Arabia has too many ninja 🥷
because our women aint ho3s
You have a full on Arabic name mr.Iranian
I love when people visit my country and say nice things about it 🫶🏻
Seems poor value for money
Now do your country iran
He already did. Check out his channel
Yes! Check it out here czcams.com/video/VGOaQhFHsxY/video.html
plastic bag is the reason behind me not going there
Good for you tbh, I hope they change that
its rude to picture women u should at least blurthier faces
Ugly choice of music
For real? Lol
I like this music please share name of track or link. Thanks in advance @@uptins
So many unescorted women?
2:20 please get your facts straight. That’s roughly the total population which includes contract migrant laborers and foreign nationals living in saudi. More than 41% of that population are immigrants and don’t have any benefits in the country except to work even though they do most of the heavy lifting. Literally.
Welcome to Saudi Arabia
Thank you!
