That freaking coronavirus could not have come at a better time with the recent significant influx of tourists and the many fantastic travel vlogs from KSA.


Annoying. Many of the most famous Youtube travel bloggers have been visiting KSA in recent months and creating amazing contents.

Some fantastic content:






etc. etc. (all those random travelers have several videos from KSA each)

You are welcome buddy. Good to see you around and stay safe. Recommend taking a look at some of those travel vlogs from KSA that I posted on page 139. Quite a few of them are Americans.

This American guy below created some great content too although he has not yet visited much of KSA. Mostly people to people interactions that judging by the comments have taken many Americans by surprise which should not really be a surprise.

"Yellow Lake" in the Al-Ahsa National Park, Eastern Province:

The coastal regions of Al-Ahsa are home to some of the largest mangrove forests in the region if not the largest. The expensive traditional Hasawi rice is also grown not far from that area.

A tragedy how the government has failed to sell KSA as a tourist destination until recently. No other country on the planet that offers this much and has such a big size (12th largest in the world) has been this neglected when it comes to tourism advertisement and positive PR in the media. I am extremely happy that this is slowly changing the more outsiders get to know and the more outsiders visit. Many foreigners all over the world are very curious about KSA.

I was a regular visitor of Shuqaiq in western Saudia.
The sea was full of coral reefs and plenty of tropical fish.

:tup:

Extreme coastal Southern KSA.
 
I have noticed lately that there have been a huge influx of famous "YouTubers" and other "social media people" as well as ordinary travellers from all continents who have been visiting KSA. Millions upon millions of people have seen those videos. It is great PR.

Amazing video (1 million views) by a Ukrainian or Russian tourist.








The visitsaudi website has done a wonderful job as well.


@Wergeland , you wanted to visit KSA after our talk yesterday. This thread should give you a little introduction to the country.
