1- it’s ok to eat with your left hand, it’s up to you, no one will force you
2- holding hands is ok!
3- some places close when it’s time to pray, and some don’t
4- bringing a gift when you visit someone is a good thing but not necessary.
its not okay to eat with your left hand its the wrong hand and gift varies to halal and makrooh
What about being gay?
But don't show your soles of the feet to anybody. The feet's soles are the dirtiest part of a person. And of course, all women there MUST WEAR A HIJAB, even if you are not in a mosque (or "masjid"). If you don't, the Mutawwa will harass you physically until you comply. You could even be arrested.
The prohibition of going to Mecca and Medina if you are not a Muslim or a Muslim-Pilgrim (especially in times where the Kingdom hosts the famous "Hajj") had been there in the Kingdom for years. The reason for this prohibition is to help prevent religious conversion to some other religion other than Islam (which is known as proselytization, which is illegal there).
@@Bruno-nd2zwyou can be what you want but not show it in public as not tolerated in Islam
@@Bruno-nd2zwif you mind you’re business in public, nobody cares about your sexual preference
Its really a must for someone to learn a country's dos and donts before visiting that country. Not only knowing its cultures and traditions, but also respect them. You will be welcome wherever you go if you behave appropriately ❤
Thanks for your video! Just getting boarded to go there! Going there with an open minded and for sure common sense and respect. The basics things in my opinion to enjoy travelling
شكراً لكم 🤍
I living Saudi Arabia and this country is my heart ❤❤❤thanks for Sharing
I would love to travel there !
Perfect
شكرا للك
you are right....❤
Thank you
Thsnks for your video but you made very complicated in some points while it is not
anyway, Im working as an uber driver and i meet a lot of tourists and the are enjoying their time here in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
You are all welcome to visit our beautiful country ❤️
I have a question sir. Can I ask if you don’t mind?
@@AliAdeelGaming sure brother
@@abdullahal-mansouri4375 I want to do to Umrah in Ramadan 2025 end of March to Early April. What hotel would be the best and cheapest?
@@AliAdeelGaming Hello Ali, it's better to check with travel agencies
@@abdullahal-mansouri4375 Thanks
first time to watch your content but amazing work man love the quality the attention to detail , i can till you this channel would be one of the biggest travel channels globally keep up the great work
Thank you so much for the kind words Basem 🙏 Really means a lot and made my day 😊
The almighty GOD BLESSED SAUDI ARABIA 🇸🇦 ❤ ITS A GREAT COUNTRY .
Your god is demon Baal. Muslims don't pray real God.
I would love to visit Saudi Arabia. It's sad that somehow various groups of people have demonized Saudi Arabia. From what I've seen and read, it seems like a beautiful place with people as eager to learn about us as we're eager to learn about them.
I agree. Saudi Arabia is not North Korea.
Yea is really beautiful country to visit if you are a man
@@VickyKwnstamtakh not true. A lot of restrictions women would have otherwise faced have been lifted.
ممتاز
Things i have questions about-
"Don't take pictures of women" why only women ? You shouldn't take pictures of ANYONE without permission.
"Don't clap on the but" - This should not be okay anywhere not only in Saudi Arabia.
Exactly 💯
Western world is an interesting place
@@jordanmartinez8287 is not appropriate even in western country to take picture of random strangers 😂. But I thought he was referring to people that are in the picture not on purpose, maybe you are taking a photo of a square and the are people around, that will end in your picture 😅. But maybe I'm wrong...
He is referring to a couple slapping each other on the butt, not random people. That would be considered sexual harassment in most civilized countries.
because pics taken of women are usually for creepy reasosn and there's a culture of it in every country as well as sxual abuse etc. it shouldn't have to be spelled out.

On 9 most of us Usually We bring sweets and coffee
I was born in Saudi Arabia so I know all rules
Ok, no one asked. This video is for people that don’t know.
@@TrxeisHimchill 😂
I want to go to the You're Cauntry Saudi Arabia
holding hands is fine and it is part of culture.
المملكة العربية السعودية افضل بلاد عربيه تمثل كل العرب وفخر العرب
hello i would like to correct about some thing like you can holdhand if you are a husbend and wife or friends , also don't bring gift when someone is inviting you you can gift him by answring his invite and come to his how saudis love dhiafa or hospitality becuse it's used to be a thing arabs world that when we invite someone the guest most feel comfort and happy and the host most make him a coffee tea and a meal mostly diner meal , my point is don't bring a gift you are the gift if you came when someone is invite's you
Are you in there presently can I get some question from for
@@YahyaOluwatobi-in2ff yes i am a saudi arabian you can ask me what u want
Interesting video, but you forgot the most important rule: DON'T STEAL! It's just not worth the enormous risk. It could cost you your right hand.
This rule is only enforced if you break into someone’s house and steal something extremely valuable, petty theft or shoplifting doesn’t warrant that punishment
Saudi man here 🤚 and you’re wrong it’s complicated i suggest u do some research before
😂😂😂😂😂
Rightfully so!! Implement this law in the west and you will see crime rates plummet immensely!!
I suppose that this video is for normal people and normal people are not criminals and don't like to steal from anybody.
I don't drink I don't do drugs it would be a beautiful country for me
I know why they make you leave at prayer times, because the shop temporarily close so the workers can pray.
Well yes, that’s the point obviously
تم
As a 13 year old girl I saw people holding hands it’s normal but not making out
Hello! In flying to Saudi Arabia very soon, and I am bringing e-liquids with me (6 bottles) will I be in trouble in customs? There is no helpful information on the internet…
What’s an e-liquid?
I flew in with 2 bottles in my checked. No issues
You can get imprisoned for bringing alcohol or drugs, you can however bring 20 vapes max as an adult
🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦
omg... i tot u r David Sinclair..
2:51 nah that ain’t the reason
That hand is the hand used to clean yourself in the bathroom
A sweet right
First
😊
This is why I love gulf countries having these laws. People respecting and crime free nation.
On 2 don’t: almost every one in Saudi Arabia who works in restaurants are Muslim so they have to take a break to go to the Mosque to pray

Welcome to my country Saudi Arabia
بلد القوانين والحرية في حدود الاحترام والشرعية واحترام وتقدير المجتمع
احترم نفسك يحترمك الجميع
ALLAH AKBUAR
This is a longer explanation and possible corrections of these 10 things
1 - This should apply to every islamic country and every muglim woman, You should NOT even stare at women if your a guy, You should abstain from looking at them unnecessarily, Quick looks shouldnt be a problem however do make sure you dont look at inappropriate parts, And same goes with unnecessarily and innapropriately talking. (KEEP IN MIND THIS ONLY APPLIES TO GUYS)
2- MOST places are closed temporarily during prayer time, No its not disrespectful or something rather they dont want to lock you in the place so they ask you to leave, They close the shop to basically say "We arent available at the moment"
3 and 4- Yes, Drugs and alcohol is STRICTLY against the law of saudi arabia, This would lead you to very dangerous consequences including a death penalty
5- Mecca is simply not allowed for nonmuslims, Dont try to sneak in there because it would be very disrespectful and very silly/goofy of you, and once again this will lead to consequences
6- Yes, No showing public relationship love, Holding hands (not illega) i would say is rare but i wouldnt say people were to mind. But i recommend still abstaining from doing so
7- Yes, In islam its a sin to eat with your left hand and plus, eating with your right hand shouldnt be a unusual thing so please do eat with your right hand, No this isnt illegal nor really disrespectful but its something you should learn regardless if your muslim or not, in saudi or not
8 is already explained
9- This once again should be applied to your regular life, Gifts really make us feel happy! ESPECIALLY By tourists!
10- This goes with all muslims and all countries. Both the government and the people are extremely nice, sadly tho Western media feeds many people false propaganda. Our government has done amazing things to help tourists and our own people
Extra note: please dont get too worried or feel too restricted when visiting saudi, I believe you should already know by now that most of this should be basic morality and do know that even if you do something a bit culturally unusual or disrespectful, Us saudis will most likely not feel offended as we can tell you are tourists and visitors, If you have saudi friends they will also probably kindly correct you.
Hi. I’m currently in Saudi and I have seen that most malls here don’t have trial rooms. Do you know why?
@@Suzume15803 No i do not know why, and I doubt it has a reason that does anything with our culture or religion
@@Suzume15803 Modesty and the culture of Saudi Arabia. They are a bit traditional.
It's not a sin to eat using your left hand, it is simply sunnah to eat using your right and avoid using your left.
pick 1 side not 2
Brother I would like to correct you in the 6th point
If two married couple are holding hands then its not a problem
:)
Well, the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (Arabic: هيئة الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر) aka the Mutawa who, when I was there in the 80s ,used to walk around and not be at all coy about whipping people on the spot, might or might not want you to show some proof of it. And still not be happy with you doing it.
My main 'don't' recommendation for the bloody country is 'don't visit it in the first place'. Where's the fun in visiting a place with so many prohibitions?
Don’t go to Saudi Arabia and quote Camrons raps “ My posey is crazier talking Saudi Arabia “
i have never been to riyadh
الالتزام بالانظمة واحترام حقوق الاخرين يحترمك الجميع
جمل حدن
ً👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Even for Muslims, there's limits. We have to fill an application. And if it's full, we can't go there.
السعودية بلد إسلامي له عادات وتقاليد إسلامية
Don't eat at left hands
Sorry Mr I don't go there . If they give the tickets for free not worse it to take risk I know .how look like for long time .
Number 9 is incorrect...you don't have to bring with you anything at all.
he said its a hospitality thing not a you must thing, peope wont be angry if you don't do it but if you do peoople will defenetly thank you, I think this its a worldwide thing.
@@1995marixsa he said it's polite to bring a gift when you're invited which is wrong. People in Saudi Arabia basically don't expect from their guests to bring anything. If you bring you "may" embarrass them. If you bring that's not considered politeness and vice versa, I mean if you don't bring anything that won't considered impolite. Wish you got the meaning.
You should never go to Saudi Arabia in the first place
Ur over but the important is to not photograph women , alkouhoul ,going makah and ur not muslim the rest of them its ok like comee on its not a big deal to feel unrespected from the way he's sitting
Dont hold hands when you are with your male friend. Dont stare at the womans face covering even if it looks like a sheetmetal moustache. Yeah they have such things there.
It's okay to hold your friend's hand 😂
Bring a bottle of wine as a gift.
You can’t take it inside of Saudi
Course u can hold hands if it’s ya husband n wife 😂

I am an islamic apostate and i dont know if i would be welcome in saudi arabia
You naughty one

Top one thing you should not do is go there ✈️✈️
Tip No. 11: Take literally only two tips from this list: Photographing women and drugs. The rest of the advice is not important
Yet the RF drink alcohol
I prayed for you to become a muslim.
2 and 9 is not true
Caught with possession of captagon, which is an illegal substance in Saudi Arabia--prepare to be arrested, jailed, and get flogged! Yes! Just like they do in Singapore, a flogging, but not with the rattan cane on your buttocks, but instead, with a cat-o-nine tail on your back. But it will HURT when you get lashed in the Kingdom. So don't import captagon!
They would kill me if I went. I’d rather stay here.
Why would they kill you ?
@@ktx93 I’m gay 🧍♀️
@JTalksNow I'm saudi and we have gays the difference is you don't need to tell everyone.
@@ktx93 I already have a finance I want to be married and hold hands in public and wear what I like. I’d rather be free. I will say though outside of social freedom Saudi is way better
NO THANKS!!!
My God!!!
No drugs, no booze. No thank you!
😂
I'm sure you can enjoy a wine ..
I will never go to Saudia Arabia..
Imagine visiting a country where you can't vacation peacefully Yikes 😬
Rather the country is a peaceful place, Saudi has one of the lowest crime rates and people are safe at midnight as well! All thanks to following the rules so if it bothers you then it's your choice and you don't have to go! Sorry
No smoking, alcohol or drugs, to some that might be a deal breaker but to someone who loathes all those things n has experienced knowing people who do those things that’s like a blessing 😂…at least it is to me , who says you need any of those to have a good time ?
If you travel there during the month of Ramadan, don’t eat or drink anything in public during the fast. Not only is it disrespectful, but it can land you with a big fine and possible jail time.
Number one grow a conscious and don't go to that evil country
I don't like to visit dose country no enjoyment to strike good for them not for outsider people
