I cannot get this image out of my head 🇸🇦 | S8, EP47

In this episode, I am trying to make my way to Al Bahah, high up in the mountains of Saudi Arabia. But things don't quite go as I'd hoped. A roadblock sends me back towards Mecca, for an enormous detour, that forces me to stay the night in Taif. When I continue again, the ride is spectacular, but I also realize that life on the road can be dangerous, always.

welcome to always in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the man who was inside the car was in good health and was going to use to help and the car flared up in his absence, and he is in good health. Thank you.

Having watched Norali's motorbike rides for over three years and never missing a single video, I've been so inspired by her adventures that, at the age of 63, I'm now planning my own motorbike trip through India, Nepal, and Bhutan scheduled for this August....!!

Ich habe mir Saudi-Arabien ganz anders vorgestellt ... aber es ist nicht nur ganz anders, sondern auch noch viel schöner als ich es mir in meinen kühnsten Träumen ausgemalt habe! Ein aufregendes, imposantes Land und viele freundliche Menschen! Man kann sich gut denken, dass irgendwo dort das Paradies zu finden ist! Vielen Dank, dass ich mitfahren durfte!

I see a lot of good comments from people in Saudi Arabia. They seem like good, kind people. Greetings from Mexico!

[garyhull]

My perception of Saudi Arabia has been, up to this point, sand, sand, and more sand. Following you through the country has changed that. You have provided many of us a view, through your lens, that we might never have the chance to see in person. Thank you.

I'm a big Dakar Rally fan so thought I knew what Saudi Arabia looked like. I was so wrong! So much more beautiful countryside & MAGNIFICENT mountains!!

[Eric-wuj]

WOW !!! AT THE VIEW, THE MOUNTAINS YES ABSOLUTE SO BEAUTIFUL ...THANK YOU FOR SHARING..( FROM BALTIMORE, MD )

You are in one of my favorite regions of Saudi Arabia. I used to travel those roads daily and the views never got old.

[SeldenDeemer]

It's good to see that you finally got to the Asir region. After the dozens of variations on brown in the rest of the country, so much greenery can be overwhelming. I was relieved that you stayed away from the dirt for a few hundred kilometers. Sometimes a break is good. I'm looking forward to further adventures in this area.

Re altitude, While riding across the USA, I think Berthoud Pass was the highest I crossed (3446 meters). My old Honda Pacific Coast had carburetors, and it was clearly gasping over the last 2000 feet of elevation. A few years later, I rode the Beartooth pass on a 1999 BMW R1100RT, which had a fuel injected engine. On another trip, knowing that we would be above 1500 meters for several days, I changed the main jets on my Suzuki T500. Proper jetting makes a HUGE difference!

I love loving this Saudi Arabian series .. I lived in Jeddah during 1979-1983 approx .. we used to go to Al Taif for a weekend break ... so brought back many memories...

[wrayjordan]

Another beautiful place to see. Thanks again for sharing your adventures.

[russsaunders]

Wow! Beautiful mountains in Saudi Arabia. Never crossed my mind that there was such a thing! Looks from the comments that there was no one hurt in the car that burned. Great news! Looking forward to the next episode. Thank you Noraly!

I worked in Saudi Arabia for 7yrs, majority of your route I was there previously. I missed those road and views. Taif is one of the highest mountain in Western Region "Jeddah" and hope you can visit Wabar Crater if you're in Taif area. It's around 230km NE. God bless and take care to all your ride....Happy Ride 🙂❤🙏

Amazing. Love the sound of the bike. The roads seem so empty. Keep safe.

[prabhjitsingh]

The ride through the Saudi Arabian mountains was fantastic . Never imagined that the Arabian Peninsula would have such diverse terrains. Pleasantly surprised by this part of the journey along with the greenery that comes up time and again. Wonderful video apart from the horrific car incident. One worries and prays for the occupants on seeing such a thing. And one could see that Noraly was a bit shaken by witnessing that burning car and finding no one around. I believe that distracted her to forget her glove in the store and then at one point she almost got hit by a vehicle crossing from left to right hidden by the car in front of her. That was a bit close. Ride safe Noraly. Godspeed !!

[christinevisser]

It is a beautiful country. Amazing scenery and the people are friendly wherever you go, partly I think because you also approach people with respect and courtesy.

[ab]

Spectacular scenery, I would have never guessed that. The best part was the scarce traffic!

[denniswade]

I'm not sure why, but this part of the new season, going through Saudi Arabia, is really touching me and giving me "itchy boots"!
I would love to see this for myself, and am very thankful for Noraly giving us the opportunity to see it with her.
What an amazing country!

[richardhanley]

There are many things to her videos, the people, the beauty of the country. And most importantly is the learning that you get of a different part of our world.

[JerryResch-gm]

Excellent ride and views in those mountains, in spite of the burning car, which we now learn was empty. Thanks for a great view of the different areas of Saudi Arabia! So interesting!
