The Side of Saudi Arabia I Did Not See Coming: A Journey Through Riyadh
In the heart of the Arabian Peninsula lies Riyadh, a city that blends the hustle and bustle of modern life with deep-rooted traditions. As I venture into the capital of Saudi Arabia, the first thing that strikes me is the intense traffic—a stark reminder of urban life that often contrasts with the serenity of the surrounding desert landscapes I adore.
In this episode, I find myself caught in a web of vehicles, a scenario that serves as a backdrop to my exploration. With hours to spare before visiting the iconic Sky Bridge, the temptation to retreat back into the chaos is far from appealing. Instead, I choose to embrace an unexpected detour and discover the hidden gems that Riyadh has to offer—a city filled with history, culture, and vibrant experiences waiting to be uncovered.
Join me as I navigate the challenges of city life, uncovering the surprising facets of a rapidly evolving metropolis, and share in the mesmerizing journey through the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that I never saw coming.

My friend and I went to see Equalizer 3 at our local IMAX a couple of years ago. It was a Thursday matinee. We were the only ones in a 400-seat theater. That was a truly liminal experience. As we were leaving the theater after the show, I jokingly complained to the staff that I couldn't find a remote 😂
I'm fully with you on city riding, totally sucks, especially in that part of the world where there isn't much focus on bikes and the traffic queues are sometimes as wide as they are long.
Yes, cities are not fun to drive in, but your tour of Riyadh was interesting. The cinema, the high-rise tower, very interesting to understand life in S.A. Capital. Thanks for the tour Noraly. 👍
You ordered a salad???? Please to show adventure, you may order salad but…..
In the video at 23:29 , what you are calling a multi-purpose guy, that is one hard working guy who is trying to live and feed his family. Necessity made him do all of these jobs. Since there is no regular job for him, he has only this option and i don’t think it’s a laughing matter to be frank.
Thank you Noraly, Rhiad was absolutely fascinating. 💕
Wash and a blow Dry. Evening at the spa. That bike is spoilt.
i was there 1994 until 1996,and sandstorm is our problem because my job as hvac technician.After the sandstorm we have to clean the airconditioner in the whole building,In there also you can experience static electricity.Temperature on summer about 45*.C,-9*C on winter.

المصري لازم يعمل افلام مايعطيك الحقيقه والشئ الجيد لازم يعمل دراما.!!
شفتوا الهندي اعطاها من الاخير لكن المصري ولا فاهم شئ مفكر نفسه في مصر.
Thanks for sharing Noralay. Wow, the traffic is insane. I would absolutely hate that. Riding in congested city's is my pet hate. Give me the open road any day.
Bit of a mission to get the oil you want but at a push you could use just about anything in a emergency.
Safe travels 🙏
Content in your videos is interesting, entertaining as well as informative.
Noraly seems to find herself in areas where political things are happening. Yemen just after the Houthi Attacks happened. Saudi Arabia just before Trump shows up for collecting bribes. Interesting.
❤
Oh my G! I had heaps of giggle especially the Cinema part. So fancy extravagant to have the cinema to yourself and was able to order food & drinks too, especially delivered. A once in a while unexpected luxury. Hitting two birds with one stone…. And the building bridge experience was AWESOME!!!
I went to my 85 year old dad's home just to show him this episode, so that he could see what does Riyadh, his old stomping ground, looked like now, and dad was so happy too and even asked me to have your YT channel in his phone 😊… Got yourself a new subscriber Noraly.
Looking forward to seeing you in the UK next month!
Beautiful Place!
Thank You Noraly!
💪❤️🙏🇧🇷

Property manager to window cleaner.."You missed a bit."
