Somehow I have a fascination with Arabic countries. Being in a huge market where you can find really everything, with friendly and welcoming people and they know how to have fun without getting drunk :D
For more than 1,400 years we do not drink alcohol. We accepted this and became a duty I talk about ( Saudi Arabia ) I don’t know about other Arab countries 🤷🏻♂️
Gabriel Traveler come to Saudi Arabia gabriel its really a diverse country each side have there own culture food climate you cant believe its the same country
WOW !! This is absolutely incredible.. everybody around the world needs to see this video. How peaceful, welcoming, and nice the people of Jeddah, Saudia Arabia are.. incredible. Shukraan, for sharing this. Cheers 🍻
I’m from the UK as well and I’ve been living and working in Jeddah for over 2 years. It’s a great place to be and as many have said, the negative media coverage is not representative of my experience. In general, the people are very kind and hospitable. The changes I’ve seen in the last 2 years are really noticeable such as an end to segregation of men and women in many places. When I first came here, all restaurants had to segregate groups of men from women. Also I’ve noticed that increasingly, some women no longer wear hijabs (head scarf). And I understand that abayas (long coat which covers from neck to ankles and arms) are not mandatory. Change will be gradual but I think these changes are welcomed by most. Make sure that you try out snorkelling (or diving). Take a boat from Obhur; it’s a great day out and corals and sea life are amazing.
Rebel Citizen we keep the old building and the area as it was long time ago not for religious matter just because we have a lot of spaces so we keep our history to be seen by others
Rebel Citizen it is a different culture, but Islamic culture does not mean oppression of the people or not respecting other faiths. Some peoples’ behaviours represents themselves but not the main faith.
Agreed. I have seen videos of Tunis in the 1960's where nearly all the women wore full face veils. Today only a small minority of women aged between 18-35 even bother wearing the hijab. I think we will see a similar transition in Saudi
The culture,rituals and places around the city are really interesting to me even if I've known many things about Saudi Arabia . This vlog makes me more aware of Arabian culture and people. I really appreciate your courage. Keep going! 💫🙏🏼
@@ITSKSMTC do you even know what the word arabic means ?? Arabs are not a race . Arab is a culture made from many cultures you can find a white and brown and black arabs , being arab means speaking Arabic and living in an Arabic country and having arabic traditions. In other means those who stayed are the ones that were influenced by the arabic and islamic culture that is why they stayed not the other way around
belakhdar mohamed abderrahmane Arab nationalism today is true it is a culture, but this does not mean that there are no indigenous Arabs .. And the Arab culture is not a mixture of cultures. This is a grave mistake and ignorance .. There are many different ethnicities in the Arab world, but there is a culture specific to the Arabs .. To be origin from African, Indian, Chinese, Kazakh, Turkish, Persian or European It is not a mistake to know yourself that you are an Arab but the wrong is to sample your culture from your country and bring it to an Arab place and attribute it and know it to foreigners and new explorers of the region as an Arab culture you must say it African, Turkish, Indian, or any place to which you originally belong, you should be proud of your origins, but you do not have the right to attribute your culture to Arabic and explain that the Arabs are basically just people and cultures blending together. You say that you are an Arab. You must adhere to the Arab culture. but don’t dare to say it’s belong to Arab culture because these nationalities still have independent countries. In this way, you steal the cultures of other peoples and the Arabs do not need to steal 😒the Arabic culture one of the richest culture in the world
@@haantayeeb1631 it is, the Arabic culture is influenced by many cultures, it has its own uniqueness but still it's has many parts from different regions, because the arabs from the beginning of time were traveling from a place to another, even in middle east many people from different backgrounds were coming to hijjaz exactly to mecca to tarde and to hajj ( even before Islam) . It's not a bad think to be influenced from other cultures , it actually a very good thing . I'm arab btw . And again arab is not a race it's a culture most of us are brown because most of us live in a hot weather, but still there are arabs that are dark and light colored because of the climate they live in .
@@rainvast8982 why do you lie ?? to this degree do not know anything about your history ?? the Arabs from the beginning were just traveling from a place to another??? don't you know that there's two parts of the Arabs some of whom love freedom and move from one place to another "Bedouins" an some live in civilized places they built and mastered its art and architecture ????? Do you not know the kingdoms established by the Arabs BC??? do you not know the kingdom of the Nabateans ? don't you know the kingdom of sheba ??? don't you know Himyarite kingdom ?? and the AD kingdoms also do not know them ? like Arbaya kingdom and Ghassanids and others you don't know anything about it ??? nothing about Awsan,Dadan,Qetban,Kinda,Maysan,Hajr ,Tadmer,Madain Saleh ,shoaib ,,nothing ?? Who are you trying to lie to?? do you think that i am ignorant of my history and my civilization ?? unfortunately you couldn't have said that to a wrong person the Arabs are the oldest people known in history and it is these kingdoms that shaped history and civilization there is no doubt that in the past Arabes are among the most important peoples by weight in ruling the wheel of history if you want to tell lies you should at least ascertain the knowledge of the person you are talking with there are guides monuments and underlined history that are not easy to play with i doubt that you are an Arab your words indicate that you are not this information is only ignorant or foreiner or the worst malevolent
@@badhasa431 bro... Haven't you been in Saudi? Their doesn't have racism. But.. Their, black peoples are some dangerous. Almost peoples are good behavior 👍👌❤
The dance at the end is called Mizmar, it is a traditional dance in the western Saudi Arabia and people doing it are from diverse backgrounds, but it is culturally integral to Saudis from African background. BTW Jeddah is one of the most diverse cities in the world
Thank you for all your travels, Jason. I get to see various countries, learn more of the people, their different cultures, food and beautiful places. Take good care of yourself too.
In the 13th minute, this is an African dance called Al-Mizmar, and this is because of the large number of immigrants from Africa, they transferred their culture to Jeddah, as most of the sellers in the market are Yemenis, Indians and Pakistanis, and this is because the city of Jeddah is considered the gate of the sanctuary to Mecca, so many come and pass from the pleasure of the region and many settle in and spread its culture
It is Saudi Jeddah dancing because there is no place dance Mizmar as local dance accept in west Saudi Arabia Jeddah and Makkah and Madina with knowing that there are many kinds of dancing in west Saudi Arabia but for Jeddah Mizmar is the only one
I know that I lives in Hijaz and I know this dance has become a Saudi heritage but its African origin maybe the Saudis developed it and excelled in that, even though those in the video are not Saudis wcec sc
The Things that I love about this video is that it shows many sides of Saudia Arabia . Like the couple who is sitting infront of the sea relaxing, and all the people going around and doing their little things.
Wooooow my favorite youtuber visiting my country 🇸🇦♥️ You helped me a lot planning my trip to Romania I would be happy to help you enjoying your stay here. Btw you should also visit Al Ula, Tabuk, and Gizan these cities are the most beautiful in KSA ❤❤❤❤❤
I was smiling while I’m watching how my city’s people are so welcoming and how they interact when they see you filming, I’m in London now and this video made me miss Jeddah even more .. Thank you to show all that beauty and authentic aspects of it.
You are so sweet, Jason! I love how you walk up to people and say salam alaykum, very kind of you. Glad you are enjoying. You are most welcome to come to Oman next 😄
I born and lived 13 years in jeddah also left jeddah 7 years ago for good and when I watched this video I memorise all my childhood and its really hurt because its my homeland but not my country 🙁💔
Jason. fellow Brit Muslim here from Nottingham. I love your videos - I'm a huge traveller myself having been to many countries. I've been to Jeddah a few times mainly for pilgrimage but we have stayed in a hotel in Al-Balad for 3 days in 2011. I actually love Jeddah and it has a lot of things you can do there. I've prayed in the Floating Mosque as well and yes it's a beautiful mosque. The Jeddah Corniche is beautiful though
Hey Jason! Welcome to Saudi Arabia! I'm a Brit living in Makkah. I'm really glad you started filming here. Saudi Arabia is huge and there are plenty of historical places! I have been living here for 6 years but I am sure I will get to know more through your vlogs 🌹🌹🌹👌👌
Thank you for this video about Jeddah. You took me about 25 years back to my visits to Jeddah through my trips to Mekkah. Jeddah is one of the most vivid, opened, civilized cities in Saudi Arabia. Its a mix of people from Africa,The Arabia, middle Asia, and Levent, who decided to settle there while they were visiting Mekkah for pilligrame. Some of Those guys who were celebrating in the end of the video are of African roots, particularly the african tribe 'Hoosa'
Awesome video, so glad you share and super impressed by the kind reception from local people. Love the colorful food market, stunning sunset and the drums at the end of the video :-)
@Patricia Palmer Women in the Middle East are second class citizens if any female actually spoke or came close to him she would either be beaten up by her husband or beheaded in public
@Patricia Palmer if you visit Jeddah yourself or watch other vlogs about Jeddah, you will see them everywhere and lots of them are unveiled. probably Jason chose not to film any of the women.
I was looking for videos on Babylon yesterday that's how I came across your channel I subbed after watching that series. You are great with the locals and know a lot of info about the places your in. I hope more ppl see this content, watching the videos from Iraq, Lebanon and now Saudi Arabia the ppl are so friendly, I've come to realize that the media gives little to no attention to these countries or its ppl and if they do it's negative or fear mongering. These ppl seem so kind, nothing of what I thought, I'm not sure how they are with women but it sure shows us a different story. Thanks for that. Cheers from Canada!
Jason, I truly appreciate your open-mindedness and attitude in meeting and mingling with people of the world... and in this video I am so impressed at how brave you are in wandering around the Bedouin Market all by yourself at night. God bless you for helping to dispel some of the negative reputation regarding the people in Saudi Arabia.
I am very happy to see this video.. I have born and raised in Jeddah 😍.. But there is alot of other very nice places in Jeddah to enjoy the sea or the desert tho..
Hi Jason! Thank you so much ! I'm very old and I have to say I would love to visit Saudi Arabia. I've actually never been there despite living a neighboring country next door. I am fascinated with the Art and culture of Jeddah. It's spectacular.
Nice country with nice people. Saudis always have a positive attitude towards life. Very warm and friendly people. One of the happiest countries in the world.
Thank you for the reminder of my time in Jeddah, in 1988/9, I was there for two years, working in The King Fahd Armed Forces Hospital, (Medical Equipment Engineer) it really was a wonderful place, so many places to visit and a generally friendly reception everywhere I went. Passed my Advanced Divers Badge - diving in the Red Sea and Obhur Creek.
Hi fellow traveler. Thanks so much for presenting this to us. We've watched all your video's over time. It's important to see such films to help us all connect and understand each other better. Keep them coming.
I am from somali and I don't like Saudi Arabia I allwey here about what they did to our people my aunt she get married Saudia men she have 9 kids... Saudi Arabia government refused to give them citizen because their mother Somalia shame
Welcome to Saudi Arabia i’m sure that you are gonna have a lot of fun here, there’s a lot of great places you should visit in jeddah like “ cup & couch, red sea mall, Medd Cafe and Roastery, and more than that. I Hope that you are enjoying your trip💙
Thanks for the video allowing us to see parts of the city of Jeddah. It looks like, the areas that are designated as the world heritage sites are in desperate need of restoration. I noticed new construction going up in the background but compared the Riyadh, this city seems to be a bit behind for some reason. Preserving the old while building new may be a challenge here... I loved the fish market... views of the sunset...
JASON BILLAM TRAVEL where are you now I live in SoCal 13 hours behind Pakistan where I am from I hope you had good time in Pakistan especially Lahore. You have great disposition. Roshan means lite. So those wooden contraption served several purposes light breeze privacy and for the women be able see the activity on the streets and not been seen. Be well
Hey Jason. Thanks for your travel videos. You really help people learn about places they have never been to and the videos often make one want to visit more countries. Started watching your videos back in the second half of 2018 when you went to Viet Nam. I think you will see 500,000 subscribers by the end of 2020! Keep posting videos.
Welcome to SA🇸🇦 i really love this old place its so nice Especially in the month of Ramadan, they put the lights everywhere. The video does not describe the beauty of the place and the people there must visit it yourself to live these moments. In the last video, the people who dance around the fire are Africans but they were born and lived in Saudi Arabia and they see them as their country and we love them very much and consider them among our children 💚 Sorry for my bad English but We welcome everyone in our country💚🇸🇦
It was while visiting a walled-in beach resort at Jeddah that inspired me to learn scuba diving. Even if you don't dive, you can snorkel and see the most amazing coral reef with crystal clear water. Jeddah city I found pleasant enough if not spectacular. The wonderful thing about visiting Saudi Arabia is that it's so culturally different from the west.
You can’t help but like these people , real hospitality and genuine aswell and they love their dates lol . A county myself and wife are looking forward to visiting . Pleased your enjoying it so much 👍 so happy Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 have given tourists a chance to see this country
You know after you finish Jeddah you can go to a place in the south about an hour away by plane it’s really cold and has a lot of mountains and old culture it’s not as fancy as Jeddah or Riyadh but it’s nice it’s called Abha
You guys should stop selling Abha to westerners.. It’s our tourist spot the locals who live in hot climates and deserts.. Westerners come from a way better place than Abha.. They’ve got rain, greenery, and mountains.. They want desert atmosphere.. Different from their environments..
Somehow I have a fascination with Arabic countries. Being in a huge market where you can find really everything, with friendly and welcoming people and they know how to have fun without getting drunk :D
the last part for sure :)
funny enough i never understood the other way around :D

Welcome back again to your home anytime
@@mohammedalqassim3668 thank u so much. I really do consider Jeddah my other home 💕. Part of my heart is still there
Hey Jason! Welcome to Saudi Arabia! I'm a Brit living in Makkah. I'm really glad you started filming here. Saudi Arabia is huge and there are plenty of historical places! I have been living here for 6 years but I am sure I will get to know more through your vlogs 🌹🌹🌹👌👌
It’s a very beautiful country made more beautiful for your excellent cinematography. You have a particular knack of getting amazing sunset pictures
Beautiful!!! Always look forward to every new video!
Glad you're liking them!
very ancient and pretty much traditional, that reminds me of Arabian Nights series..... Masha Allah
Thank you for this video about Jeddah. You took me about 25 years back to my visits to Jeddah through my trips to Mekkah.
Jeddah is one of the most vivid, opened, civilized cities in Saudi Arabia. Its a mix of people from Africa,The Arabia, middle Asia, and Levent, who decided to settle there while they were visiting Mekkah for pilligrame. Some of Those guys who were celebrating in the end of the video are of African roots, particularly the african tribe 'Hoosa'
Am living since 21 years in Jeddah, first time i see something like that
All the best, keep going
On the minute 11:20 the guy is preparing Moutabbak , you should try it, it's very yammy
Even the weather in jeddah is diffrent now than when i first came here 20 years ago, it's colder now
Awesome video, so glad you share and super impressed by the kind reception from local people. Love the colorful food market, stunning sunset and the drums at the end of the video :-)
Andrea k. Bonjour cv bien j'espère j vous dérange pas madame juste pour vous dire vous êtes très belle sur votre photo profile merci beaucoup
Ohh so masha Allah
The city looks beautiful & quite clean
@Patricia Palmer Women in the Middle East are second class citizens if any female actually spoke or came close to him she would either be beaten up by her husband or beheaded in public
@@patrickbateman1540 wtf?! Lol
@Patricia Palmer Most women don't like these areas. Watch the video before this.
@Patricia Palmer if you visit Jeddah yourself or watch other vlogs about Jeddah, you will see them everywhere and lots of them are unveiled. probably Jason chose not to film any of the women.
Clean????
Inspiring as usual. Thank you again for your work
Jason- Thank you for this wonderful vlog. Greetings from Compton,California!

Man even I’m a Saudi I loved Jeddah because of your video! This is really amazing you filmed it in a such great way
I was looking for videos on Babylon yesterday that's how I came across your channel I subbed after watching that series. You are great with the locals and know a lot of info about the places your in. I hope more ppl see this content, watching the videos from Iraq, Lebanon and now Saudi Arabia the ppl are so friendly, I've come to realize that the media gives little to no attention to these countries or its ppl and if they do it's negative or fear mongering. These ppl seem so kind, nothing of what I thought, I'm not sure how they are with women but it sure shows us a different story. Thanks for that. Cheers from Canada!
It's amazing 😍 thank u Jason .. I feel like I'm there .. Hope I can visit it one day....... From Algeria
Love and respect .from Pakistan🇵🇰❤🇸🇦

So beautiful City Saudi Arabia Jeddah and beautiful amazing sunset 🌇 thank you so much for sharing bro. Safe travel 👍 God bless you always 🙏
Jason, I truly appreciate your open-mindedness and attitude in meeting and mingling with people of the world... and in this video I am so impressed at how brave you are in wandering around the Bedouin Market all by yourself at night. God bless you for helping to dispel some of the negative reputation regarding the people in Saudi Arabia.
There is no danger waking in night, saudi arabia has very low crime rate
Saudi Arabia is safer than your countries in the west.
I am very happy to see this video.. I have born and raised in Jeddah 😍.. But there is alot of other very nice places in Jeddah to enjoy the sea or the desert tho..

Hi Jason! Thank you so much ! I'm very old and I have to say I would love to visit Saudi Arabia. I've actually never been there despite living a neighboring country next door. I am fascinated with the Art and culture of Jeddah. It's spectacular.
Nice country with nice people. Saudis always have a positive attitude towards life. Very warm and friendly people. One of the happiest countries in the world.
I was born and raised in Jeddah. I love Jeddah my hometown. 🇸🇦❤️
Nice to see
That's why I love the internet. Thank you for sharing your impressions
i really love jeddah..
can feel the pure aura
Wow very beautiful country. I really like your videos. 👍👍👍
WooOOooOW! it's Very beautiful and so interesting City! It's really Amazing!
Thank you so much bringing me back to my childhood days in Jeddah.
Thank you for the reminder of my time in Jeddah, in 1988/9, I was there for two years, working in The King Fahd Armed Forces Hospital, (Medical Equipment Engineer) it really was a wonderful place, so many places to visit and a generally friendly reception everywhere I went. Passed my Advanced Divers Badge - diving in the Red Sea and Obhur Creek.
Oh it s very cute this beautiful town
From Algeria 😎
Wow,,, the Azan (call for prayer) is just beautiful...take love arab from Bangladesh...
this Adhan (azan) on the Hejazi vocal (musical) scale, mosques in Hejaz use it
Hi fellow traveler. Thanks so much for presenting this to us. We've watched all your video's over time. It's important to see such films to help us all connect and understand each other better. Keep them coming.

If your father is saudi you will get it.
So don't you ever lie again.
Great video Jason, especially the last part, the souk at night and the amazing Sudani dance and music around the fire.
Welcome to Saudi Arabia i’m sure that you are gonna have a lot of fun here, there’s a lot of great places you should visit in jeddah like “ cup & couch, red sea mall, Medd Cafe and Roastery, and more than that. I Hope that you are enjoying your trip💙
Thanks for the video allowing us to see parts of the city of Jeddah. It looks like, the areas that are designated as the world heritage sites are in desperate need of restoration. I noticed new construction going up in the background but compared the Riyadh, this city seems to be a bit behind for some reason. Preserving the old while building new may be a challenge here... I loved the fish market... views of the sunset...
Jason you do such a good job on your travelogues I have been following u since Pakistan! Enjoy your videos. Good luck be safe be well
Thank you my friend!
JASON BILLAM TRAVEL where are you now I live in SoCal 13 hours behind Pakistan where I am from I hope you had good time in Pakistan especially Lahore. You have great disposition.
Roshan means lite. So those wooden contraption served several purposes light breeze privacy and for the women be able see the activity on the streets and not been seen. Be well
Thank you , I live in Jeddah very long time , and you have given a very positive and interesting view of the place ! Bravo!
Hey Jason. Thanks for your travel videos. You really help people learn about places they have never been to and the videos often make one want to visit more countries. Started watching your videos back in the second half of 2018 when you went to Viet Nam. I think you will see 500,000 subscribers by the end of 2020! Keep posting videos.
I have always been interested in Arabian culture this is a great video 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Maybe you have Arab blood... Islam was for 700 years in Spain... The Golden age of Isla.
Yes maybe ❤️

Welcome to SA🇸🇦 i really love this old place its so nice Especially in the month of Ramadan, they put the lights everywhere. The video does not describe the beauty of the place and the people there must visit it yourself to live these moments.
In the last video, the people who dance around the fire are Africans but they were born and lived in Saudi Arabia and they see them as their country and we love them very much and consider them among our children 💚
Sorry for my bad English but We welcome everyone in our country💚🇸🇦
The architecture, lovely! 💗11:20 That looks so good 😋You've always just got to follow the beat, you know the energy is usually gonna be good! 😊

It was while visiting a walled-in beach resort at Jeddah that inspired me to learn scuba diving. Even if you don't dive, you can snorkel and see the most amazing coral reef with crystal clear water. Jeddah city I found pleasant enough if not spectacular. The wonderful thing about visiting Saudi Arabia is that it's so culturally different from the west.
You can’t help but like these people , real hospitality and genuine aswell and they love their dates lol . A county myself and wife are looking forward to visiting . Pleased your enjoying it so much 👍 so happy Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 have given tourists a chance to see this country
I love Arab people. Love from Kazakhstan
The way you speak Arabic is very good, Well done.
The Jeddah vibes are really peaceful, friendly and really welcoming. the architecture is very beautiful.

You know after you finish Jeddah you can go to a place in the south about an hour away by plane it’s really cold and has a lot of mountains and old culture it’s not as fancy as Jeddah or Riyadh but it’s nice it’s called Abha
You guys should stop selling Abha to westerners.. It’s our tourist spot the locals who live in hot climates and deserts.. Westerners come from a way better place than Abha.. They’ve got rain, greenery, and mountains.. They want desert atmosphere.. Different from their environments..
