SAUDI ARABIA'S FAIRYTALE VILLAGE: Beautiful Rijal Almaa in the hills of Abha and the 'Asir Region.

- The beautiful village of Rijal Almaa is one of the most intriguing places we visited in Saudi Arabia! Have you heard of this fairytale village in the hills of Abha? It is sometimes known as the Gingerbread Village due to it's unique appearance...
The village is more than 900 years old and has an interesting history. It's location was ideal linking people coming from Yemen and the Levant through to the Holy City of Makkah and Medina. And as a result, it became an important trade centre in the 'Asir Region.
We had an amazing day making a road trip from the small town of Halaba towards Abha and then onwards to find the famed village of Rijal Almaa. And we met some great people on the way!
It was another memorable adventure in beautiful Saudi Arabia.
Thanks for watching! :)

I’m amazed at how mature your children are for their age and the fact that they make such good travel bodies and find interest in things their cohort wouldn’t normally find interest in. It’s a testament to your parenting. I wish you all the best and hope you enjoyed Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

Thank you very much 😊
Thank you we love Saudi Arabia.
Imagine these young guys growing up travelling, and when they're fully adults they probably seen the every corner of the world. 😁 Not only seeing the world, they're absorbing vasts knowledge along the way.
When I see them I always say the same thing those kids gonna grow up smart and confident and thanks to ‘em parents for traveling the world and see different cultures and different languages and know how to interact with people
Mashallah ❤️
Yes these are the richest kids of the world. And you see their memory is very good. They recall the resemblance of one place to another immediately. Doesn't look a mere childhood journey.
I think NEW Zealand Intelligence agencies
will hire Oscar and Harry in future 😅🤣😂on a lighter note
@@memes2.o.0 No I don't think so. They will be wayyy too smart for that.
Wow thank you very much 😊
I am so proud of my Saudi people they’re so generous and helpful

Thank you 😊
Smitten by all those stone walls and stairways giving a chiq look. ❤️ Its so cool to see many interesting things offered for sale such as honey, flower head bands, I was waiting for the tea or coffee kiosk 🤗 to pop up.
Thank you for sharing.
Safe travels to all of you ❤️
Thanks @Janice 😊
Happy to see you enjoy in this trip ❤️❤️
That fruit is called "barbed figs" or teen shawki (تين شوكي), another Saudi name for it would be Barshoomi (برشومي). I had several of them growing around my home and they taste amazing when they're ripe and sweet and succulent and refrigerated. It's kind of one of the most planted and harvested cacti in all of Arabia, especially in Hijaz and the south. Of course, all cacti come from the Americas so they're not native here, but they might as well seeing how much we love them lol.
Yes it called barshoomi
I'm new in this channel.. I saw few videos and actually the mom tried it when she was in the vegetable store that was on the road.
Wrong, it is an endemic plant in the highlands of the Arabian Peninsula
@@UnknownS11S many plants we find normal actually come from the Americas, 500 years ago we wouldn't have known about potatoes, tomatoes, corn and cacti. They are all native plants of the Americas that spread to the rest of the world

Thank you 🙏 we like to let them say what ever they want to on video, we trust them. We call it world schooling 😊
A wonderful and humble Moroccan family appreciates your visit to their honorable country
Love your attitude about exploring uncharted territories both distant geography and culture. Honestly It takes courage and faith in humanity to do what you're doing especially in this part of the world. As a Saudi I appreciate that. I don't know if you're still in the country, yet in my opinion I think Al Ahsa in the eastern region would seriously enrich and complements your Saudi journey wonderfully. Of course, if you can don't miss it! Wish all your family safe travels home.
Thank you very much 😍
Thank you 🙏
In Saudi Arabia, there are many sites. Al-Ahsa is beautiful. The seasons are generally beautiful in Saudi Arabia. As for the south, it is an unforgettable adventure because of the high mountains, beautiful roads, lit cities, and simple life.
Sarah looks so pretty with those flowers on her head. 😍
Welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Welcome to Abha, I am so happy that you shot this video in my city
Beautiful city :)
All the respect to the most amazing lovely family tourists.
I admired the idea that you are involving your children and enhancing there knowledge and experience through travelling. What a great parents you are !
I am from rijal almaa , born and raised there as alittle shepherd in the early days. back then every thing was very primitive . You eat what grow and havest you feed only on your land and animal products . Things have developed and evolved tremendously since then Now, I am close to retirement and i am considering building a little water park to help enhance the life style of the local people and add a value to the tourism in my town .
What a great video... . May Allah watch over you and protect you where ever you go .
Hello! Can you help me? I am Brazilian and Iam going to Saudi Arabia in November and I would like to do a tour to Rija Almaa and another to Taif leaving and returning from Jeddah but I can not find any company that does this tour. Do you have anyone to recommend? Thanks.
Welcome to Saudi Arabia❤
I enjoyed watching the video
Your kids are so sweet and well mannered
masha allah 💕Love them 😘
Welcome to my city ❤

Allah is the greatest (Allahu akbar)

Harry and Oscar are always lovely. One thing I want to say you that, don’t miss to collect an English translated Quran before you leave the Soudi Arabia. Read one time in your lifetime, because " Say: Travel in the land and see how originated creation.....(29:20)" is the valuable verse of the holly Quran that is part of your life. Almighty bless you🙂
That so beautiful Place I love it . sid you have great Channel & I love watching your series episodes it's always exploring & Beautiful Content. Love & Respect for Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦❤ from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Aslam o Alaikum Sarah beauty vlog super vlog Masha Allah for always❤️❤️
i'm so pleased to see you making vlogs about my neighbor village and having a good time there. keep up making videos you've earned a sub xD
احبكم من السعودية 😍🇸🇦
Welcome to Saudi Arabia
I remember I was there some months ago
It was so beautiful!
2:33 It's a fruit that has an outer layer of spikes that is chopped off so you can get to the part that can be eaten. You can usually find it being sold by people on the road near stores (it's called Barshomee in Saudi) just like the guy who was selling honey. You should also eat it cold as it makes it taste even better. Also, drink water after eating it so that it doesn't upset your stomach.
Been there in Abha a cool place
Nice vlog I enjoying your vlog
Have a wonderful time.
Welcome to Abha, I hope you enjoy💗💗💗
Kiaora Kiaora Kiaora , Marhaba !
Thank you! 😎♥️
Nice video, that tree you were asking about called (prickly pear tree) in Arabic (teen Shawki) it is very famous and widely spread over the mountains in the south, You should be careful when touching the outer peel of the fruit because it is full of thorns. It has a very sweet and delicious taste, When we pick it we use gloves to avoid the thorns, then we remove the outer peel and eat it, Usually you will find people selling it on the side of road.
You showed the people of Saudi Arabia very nice way and as just you able to say their few words (how they say hi/Salam ) and the way you ask about what is the prices (Riayal) the people feel you so close that they even started to welcome your family in their biggest plate dish of rice and chicken (may be that called Kebsha)...
And the way you ask(Keyfa Lauk---how are you?)
Sukran---Thank you
Khoas--Nice
We learned and next time hoping to use those easily..
I love Asir, southwest of Saudi Arabia 7:20
Good luck and enjoy your tour
Wow
المملكة ترحب بكم رحلة سعيدة ❤
