I Explored Saudi's City on the Yemeni Border 🇸🇦 (Jazan)

Описание:

After driving 13 hours from Riyadh, we reached Jazan: Saudi Arabia's southernmost major city bordering Yemen and the Red Sea. I met up with famous local content creator and guide Bassam Al‑Fifi (بسام الفيفي) who took me to a local restaurant where we had a feast of Jazan's unique cuisine, from giant lamb and rice platters to seafood stews and fish from the Red Sea. It also happened to be Saudi Arabia's national holiday "Founding Day" (يوم التأسيس), where they celebrate the unification of the Kingdom by getting together and dressing up in traditional outfits. Bassam's mom dressed me in her beautiful 40‑year‑old dress from the nearby mountain region, and we went out to a festival to meet and mingle with the locals. I was not expecting such warmth and hospitality from people I had just met, and it made me excited for the adventures to come in this part of the country. 0:00 Intro 1:15 Jazani Food at a Traditional Saudi Arabian Restaurant 5:03 Eating with my hands (for the first time) 10:10 Meeting the locals 10:49 Wearing Traditional Saudi Arabian Dress 13:29 Founding Day Celebrations (يوم التأسيس)
