Will I... cut a little bit Madinah, Saudi Arabia Season 8 - Eps.46 Good morning Internet! It is..
8 o'clock in the morning and welcome back to the channel Welcome to Madinah in Saudi Arabia Now as you can see, I'm already leaving Yeah, my stay here didn't quite go according to plan If you've seen the last episode, I arrived here late And then I couldn't find a hotel Everywhere they were full And then eventually first they also said, here we're full And they said, no maybe you can stay You have to wait for the room to be ready At like, and it was already like 7 o'clock at night then And then they said, oh but you can't stay here because you're not a Muslim And I know, of course in Mecca that's the case So I cannot go to Mecca because I'm not a Muslim Like I'm not allowed in Mecca whatsoever I believe they already lead you over a highway avoiding Mecca If you're not a Muslim but according to my research it would be allowed to come to Madinah So that's why I came here because I thought it would be interesting to see this place Because Madinah is of course after Mecca the most important pilgrim place for Muslims And I know that I wouldn't be allowed inside the mosque here But still I thought, could be interesting But anyway, then they said, no but you can't stay here you need to go out of town And then eventually they said, okay no you can stay So I only checked into the room at like 8:00 at night Completely shattered and and this morning at 7:00 They were already like banging on the door that I had to leave And I think because they just don't have enough rooms So yeah, it seems like there are just so many pilgrims here That even with a lot of hotels Um, they can barely bare all the pilgrims So I decided to leave and make room for the people that make a large pilgrimage to come here So.. I'm leaving and I am going to Jeddah today I will show you later on the map.. where that is But Jeddah is basically back at the coast again South from here it's 440 km And then I should be in Jeddah This is a cool car Chevrolet So now to leave town I also have to Go via all these detours again I think I also haven't had a breakfast There was no food in the hotel And I'm still a little bit hungry from yesterday, because yesterday I didn't have a lunch And not really a dinner either So by now I'm starting to get a little bit hungry But I thought let's first just get a little bit out of Madinah And then see if I can find a place somewhere to eat something Yes, looks like some food All right, this is breakfast Egg sandwich Some breakfast And some chai Does wonders You see I have cruise control now Yeah, when I dropped Frankie yesterday on that steep incline I think I hit this So now my throttle gets stuck Not the first time I have that problem I had that on Alaska all the time So many times that happened Anyway, I'm going to look after Frankie in Jeddah I'm going to see if they can maybe fix that gear shifter Maybe you can still weld that I'm not sure I'm going to see Because then I can keep that as a spare with me Because for some reason I really like to fall down on the left side Almost always Okay, except that one on the right but most of the time I fall to the left apparently And then the gear shifter will always be the first victim So it is possible that I'll destroy this one also at some point This road is also a little bit damaged here and there But it can't be as bad as the last time Good morning Good morning to you Ah! Oh, you don't work here Yeah Okay American? Holland Holland Full Full - Yes Madinah? Madinah Jeddah Ah Jeddah, God bless One One..god bless God bless... What is your name? Noraly Noor... God bless

No petrol Petrol Finished Ah How many liter? No need? Ah! But I can give you uh.. I can fill up from here No? Okay Bye! They were waving They were waving so I stopped They ran out of petrol but.. So I thought I'll just drain some fuel from my tank into the petrol bag And give it to them But then uh.. one of them already jumped into a car with someone To go to the next petrol station so..
I made it to the outskirts of Jeddah Oh and it is boiling hot I just can't imagine how it's like here in summertime When it's already so hot in winter, but anyway What a different city compared to Madinah Here hotel Closed as well What is going on? Also This facility is violating the tourism law and its executive regulations It's already the second one, I don't get it It's closed - Yeah Um.. Let me see Hello I cannot park my motorbike there Aye And if I push it, if I don't drive I push - No Not possible So this is where I'll be staying tonight So I'm staying in one of the original houses here This one is completely renovated and look how tall it is You can see from here Amazing right?

So I texted Amir and I said, look I have this broken gear shifter Uh, do you know someone who can weld it 'Cause I really like to.. have a spare gear shifter with me Because yeah, it's just like I said in the last video It's a..
It's in that sense a weak spot so every time I fall on the left it will take a hit And yeah, you can bend it back a couple of times but eventually you know you're going to break it So it will be nice to have a spare with me again so That's why I want that one to get fixed And yeah, my throttle, see I can't read the house numbers It's in Arabic Hi Hi, how are you? Noraly Oh, nice to see you Nice to meet you - Yeah How is the bike It's been good Always I break something or yeah So show me the the lever, where the lever is I bent it back already a couple of times So I put the spare one on, but always when I fall on the left always it will damage this one So that's why I thought it's good if I can repair this one so I have spare For in case - Yeah 'Cause it will happen again And then my throttle gets stuck as well So it's like, see it's Yeah We push it One more Yes So Amir is taking me to a place where we can see if they can weld my gear shifter Everywhere there are spare parts Now I'm in Iraq you know Will I ... cut a little bit Thank you so much Thanks for everything - See you again somewhere maybe I hope to meet you again Bye Oh Amir was so nice What a lovely guy And His wife prepared me some really nice Arabic coffee and snacks And Yeah, I'm really glad that he helped me out So he just grinded off a little bit There at my handguard So my throttle is not stuck any longer So I am now in the old town of Jeddah and I've heard about a very good fish restaurant So I'm gonna see if I can find it and have a nice dinner here But also explore the old town because it is so beautiful everywhere This is.. - Is this one Ah okay It's incense So it's a tradition in Saudi Arabia that when you enter a home as a guest for example, that they will prepare some incense And.. you kind of wave the smell of the incense, like the smoke of the incense over you And it smells really nice it's kind of like a perfume They have so many amazing shops here I just checked one out where they makes soap And the owner of the shop actually gave me a free piece of soap It is so nice Siwak for cleaning mouth and teeth This is the restaurant.
