Is This Really Happening | Saudi Arabia | [E57]

Are you okay, little one? So cool! No, are you getting some fuel? He's getting fuel, yes. That's the thing. Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa. Good morning, all the beautiful people. I hope you're doing well. Another day! And this night I stayed in a caravan, actually. Of all places. My host, he's a racer. So he has a championship in racing with a car, and all kinds of different rallies over here and abroad. So I'm staying in his caravan, which is really cool. Bed back there, kitchen, and sofa, yeah. And the toilet, there. But I gotta pack up, because I gotta continue. And I'm heading towards Jeddah. I'm in the west coast, so it's a long way. Saudi Arabia is a really long country, so I gotta push it a bit. So pack everything, and we go. Hey, everyone! So I got out from the caravan, and I'm on the road again. Gotta get some fuel. And some breakfast, I think. It's a beautiful day. Let's embrace this amazing day. It's around 7.30 in the morning right now. I try to start as early as I can to avoid the main heat. So I'm going to a place called Hale. And it's another city. I'm passing through cities. I'm heading towards Jeddah, as I told you. And the beautiful things out there. Yeah, what do you think about Saudi Arabia? Do you think it's only sand, desert? Let me know in the comments. I'm waiting for new shoes for Sarek, as well. So you're gonna have new tires. So I ordered them to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. So they should be there in hopefully a week. And then when I go back to Riyadh, I can change them. It'll be great. Because the tires, the back tires doesn't have too much left. Probably can do whole Saudi Arabia. I have one more country and then that's it. But I want a little bit more off-road tires, you know. So that's the plan. Because when I bought this bike, I had these tires on. The Michelin Anakee Adventure tires. But they are like 80% on, 20% off. And I really like the more off-road tires. But it felt like a waste to throw them, because they were almost brand new. So I said, let's go with them. And then I changed them in a country. And I'm almost halfway. God, I'm halfway. I'm almost halfway to Nepal. Crazy. I could probably go to Nepal. I could be there in one month. Or less, if I just kept on driving each, every day. Then I wouldn't enjoy the journey though. And get to know the culture and the countries. But I could. But I won't. Nope. I like to stop and relax. Get to know some people. And see something. And get the feeling of the place. But as well when I'm doing YouTube videos, I have to stop and edit a lot. So that takes time as well. So each and every video takes at least 10 hours to edit. Like the full, complete. From beginning to end. When I post it on YouTube. Upload it on YouTube. So it's a lot of work. But it's so much fun. It is fun. I love to be creative. Some food for my darling. See where I can get that. It's on 91. As-salamu alaykum. Hello. Very good, thank you. How are you? No, are you just getting some fuel? He's getting fuel, yes. That's the thing. I'm gonna go to Hail? Hail? Yes. That's the plan. Thank you. Here we go. She's fueled up. You take visa card, no? Yes. 27 Saudi. They're so cute over here in Saudi Arabia. They're very curious. The road to Hail is straight. It's just same as this. It's the highway all the way there. I have a railway there. Pretty amazing view there. There's a lot of traffic. Oh, my body. I'm not supposed to drive this long. I destroyed my body. Two hours with one tiny stop. I was reading a little bit about Saudi Arabia yesterday. And I came across that it has the largest airport in the world. It's 650 000 square meters. And it's in Dammam. It's on the east side on the coast. I had no idea about that. And another fun thing was... You know that the country is covered in sand. There's a lot of sand here. But still, they do import a lot of sand. For which country do you think? Oh, Australia. They import a lot of sand from Australia. Because the sand here in Saudi Arabia, they can't use it for constructional purposes to build things. So they import it from Australia, apparently. All right. Gotta go. Gotta continue this. I think this is the... How do I say it? The most straight road. The longest straight road I've ever driven in my life. It's not even a little, little turn. Oh, it's a tornado coming here. It's not even a little, little turn. It's just straight, straight, straight, straight, straight. It's incredible. Incredible. These beauties over here are challenging life in the middle of the highway. Oh, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa. They're big. Oh, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Watch out for the cars. No cars are coming. Are you all right? They are all right. This is so cool. This is the Bedouin tents. It's like... Flintstone! Wow, yeah, I wonder what that thing is. It looks like a hydroelectric water station somehow. Great spot to come and camp here. All right, here we go, up this one, do a little tour like that. Yes, yes, yes, Saudi Arabia is not only sand, so much more than that. I'm so fascinated about these rocks. Oh, Saudi Arabia, what a place. I love it. That's a massive mosque, it's gorgeous. Right there on the top, very cute. I'm not sure who lived in that castle or what it was for, I need to find that out. And in front of me I have my second host here in Saudi Arabia, Adil. So I will stay at his place tonight, see if I stay for the night or if I stay two nights, I haven't decided yet. He has a really cool car, off-road car. I would get one of those if I lived in Saudi Arabia as well. Good morning, all my beautiful people. Another day here in Haim. I'm staying with Adil and another couch over here. It's very nice. We're going to go and visit a volcano area, so yalla, yalla. Yes, doing a lot of work. You okay, little one? The volcanic crater, isn't it pretty amazing? And on top of this volcano, there was actually a village, that village over there. So 1983, the village was on the volcanic area. And they realized that they have cracks and stuff on their houses and the government came there and saw like, oh, you're living on a volcano. So they moved the town or the village over there, as I pointed out. They live there now in peace. Amazing day. Thank you so much for joining my adventure from Sweden to Nepal.
