I lost the trail a little bit Burayda, Saudi Arabia Season 8 - Eps. 37 Good morning Internet It is 9 o'clock in the morning And welcome back to the channel Does this even fit? This is.. A little bit tight Welcome to.. Saudi Arabia Okay Today I have a long day ahead of me Today I finally hope to reach Hail I'm now right over here Um but I'm going to ride kind of straight across the middle here So, this should be all dirt and then reach a Hail It's I think 425 km for today And no breakfast They didn't do any breakfast here Is this open? This one...? Closed..
Look what I spotted A Starbucks Uh, I would like to have a.. More of a local breakfast but I'm hungry enough Let's get a sandwich.. Flatbread... These ones please Okay Breakfast done Let's go I can already see the mountains in the distance There we go This is the end of the tar road Very corrugated Uh uh uh Oef Just one little house here And then.. nothing
Wow, it is stunning here! It's actually quite green as well Oh, there's lots of camels There, as well Oh, it's okay Don't be scared Oh, some of these corrugations are really bad This is okay See it's actually a really fast track. I'm going 90 now or 88 If it's not corrugated then.. It is actually really nice to ride See, and there.. there's all these little..
Melons growing everywhere, you see them? They're like wild melons Here, there is a bunch of them here Yeah, these ones I know from uh.. other countries that these are practically inedible They are very, very sour So I'm not gonna.. I'm not going to attempt it But it's cool that they're growing everywhere here What a place right? Awesome Yee hoo hoo! What a place! Oh, it's so beautiful here! See, every now and then I see like a small tent So these are just people moving around with the camels The bedouins of Saudi Arabia Well, this is not a bad spot to be It's stunning And it's pretty much all volcanic rock down here And I'm actually now, on my way also to a volcano The crater of a volcano So it's all.. volcanics in this area
You see him? Although, is this a fox? He's quite big Yeah, it's a fox Second one! Oh, I think there's some dead camels here Oh, lots of them I saw the birds 1, 2, 3 Oh, it's lots Huh, 4, 5 7 dead camels Little bit eerie Oh, and then there's water here That's interesting Didn't see that coming Right It's this way I need to.. Follow these tracks Whoo hoo! This is so smooth! It kind of feels like I'm on a salt flat But I don't think so, I think it's just dry, dry mud Very smooth See there's also water here.. on the left I got to be a bit careful because my feeling is that this stuff like Yeah, when it gets wet You are going to sink Somewhere here is that volcano I'm pretty sure At least it should be Let me see if I'm still on the right track Ah yeah Yeah volcano is a bit further Probably, close to those mountains there in the distance I have to pay close attention because.. There are tracks everywhere So it seems See now this one is also.. This is not right, I need to stay closer to that little ridge.. There Here is a track I think Yeah It's not very visible but it's here Ah yeah There's like these little ditches From run off from that little hill See here it gets really quite green again Love it Just got a little bit more sand here and there Volcano should be somewhere here I think this is it already This is the top of the volcano I think Wow! That's crazy Look at that Looks rather unhealthy hey? You don't want to swim in that It's now 1:30 So actually.. I should have my lunch here
Remember that I bought an extra sandwich at Starbucks So let's eat that With a view on this volcano Goodbye volcano I lost the trail a little bit Or is it here? What an incredible area right? Spectacular Oh, the track ends here I was hoping to get further. Oh, it's completely blocked, yeah Okay Turn around Wow Fantastic right? So beautiful! You can already see from a distance.. Where there's a little wadi By all the trees, see? Right here, there's a wadi Small one..
Slightly bigger one You know a wadi is a dry river bed You'll hear me say it a lot more Because you get them everywhere in this part of the world And it's also always a dangerous place A wadi, because if it rains and it sometimes does Even in the desert That's why you get flash floods And it can turn into a raging river Very quickly then Usually 'cause when the soil is so dry it will not take up any water And it will all collect in the wadi Wow! What a spectacular place right? I'm so happy Today is a good, good day It is fantastic out here Hey buddy There's a camel in the back of this uh, truck It's only a baby There's another McDonald's The American chains are everywhere I've seen KFC Dunkin' Donuts Well Starbucks There's still mountains everywhere in the background Uh, of the city Which is really cool. I don't know if you can see that Back there Hi! Hi! Hi, where are you from? Holland Wow! One, you? Wow! Where do you go? To hotel I go all Saudi Arabia Wow! You on snapchat? I don't have snapchat No Oh, and here we have some.. Teacups That is so cool It's better than a statue of some person Yeah, I've been asked already three or four times since I've been in Saudi Arabia for my snapchat I'm on plenty of other social media stuff But I've never gotten snapchat It seems to be quite big here in Saudi Arabia Lavina swites I think they mean suite So I have an entire apartment Look at this I have a whole seating area again And then separate bedroom Here Very nice And then this must be bathroom then Yeah, bathroom is here Yeah, I got a feeling that this is kind of like the normal thing in Saudi So they don't really do so much like hotel or well, definitely not a lot of like small guest houses It all seem to be bigger hotels and then you immediately get like an entire apartment with like a kitchen And everything, it's way too big for me but anyway But what a day! I am still.. ah, I'm so pumped for today It was awesome and it was really beautiful And yeah, it just the scenery was amazing The riding was really good, it wasn't tricky or anything It was quite easy So I could just really enjoy the scenery and yeah, had an absolute blast So really, really good day of riding done and I'm excited because now I'm in a really interesting area There's a lot to see around here That was it for today, I really hope you like this video If you did please give a big thumbs up Subscribe down below and then I'll see you in in the next video So now I'm in a closed cubicle And so you sit on the floor And then look what is for dinner Wow It's a lot of food
