TAKING THE TRAIN TO HOFUF: Our experience on Saudi Railway from Dammam to Al Hofuf, Saudi Arabia.

  • Today we took our first train in Saudi Arabia from Dammam to Al Hofuf (the journey goes onwards to Riyadh); a short journey of less than two hours train travel. And we can confirm the train ride was smooth as!
    Rail transport is not a particularly popular mode of travel in KSA yet (cars are definitely the big way to get around) but from a travel perspective it felt like a fairly economical way to travel across the country (which is huge in land-size and the 13th largest country in the world!).
    We look forward to sharing more of our family travel adventures in Saudi Arabia!
    Thanks for watching! :)

      I think the majority of people are kind and big hearted regardless of race and religion, that’s human nature. But when it comes to generosity and hospitality, no one would come close to the Arabian people .. Ancient Arabians 🇸🇦 glorified generosity and wrote poems bout those who are extremely generous..

    Welcome to Saudi Arabia, and we thank you for your respect for the Saudi culture, as well as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is developing now, such as the Jeddah season, the Riyadh season, the Boulevard, and many other tourist places as well. Thank you for your respect and for wearing the abaya, even though you are not obligated to wear the abaya in Saudi Arabia. Also, thank you for showing the cultural and ancient aspect that enables me from Saudi Arabia.

    Welcome to Saudi Arabia. We were pleased with your visit. You started in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia, which is a very hot area at this time. I wished you to visit the capital, Riyadh, and then the southern region is summer resorts. Now you will find what pleases you of heritage, literature and scenic views. Then you came to the western region, the charming city of Jeddah, and then Al-Ula, the cradle of civilizations. Then Tabuk and NEOM, I wish you a happy journey.

    You should try The Haramain high speed train the one between Jeddah, KAEC, and Medina its also connected to Mecca but as non-Muslims you can't visit Mecca, and It's really a fancy fast train, I think it's one of the best in the world. The stations also very cool especially from inside at day time, Definitely you should try it also you can see KAEC and Madinah or Medina
