SAUDI ARABIA'S FAIRYTALE VILLAGE: Beautiful Rijal Almaa in the hills of Abha and the 'Asir Region.
Рет қаралды 111,326
Жыл бұрынThe beautiful village of Rijal Almaa is one of the most intriguing places we visited in Saudi Arabia! Have you heard of this fairytale village in the hills of Abha? It is sometimes known as the Gingerbread Village due to it's unique appearance...
The village is more than 900 years old and has an interesting history. It's location was ideal linking people coming from Yemen and the Levant through to the Holy City of Makkah and Medina. And as a result, it became an important trade centre in the 'Asir Region.
We had an amazing day making a road trip from the small town of Halaba towards Abha and then onwards to find the famed village of Rijal Almaa. And we met some great people on the way!
It was another memorable adventure in beautiful Saudi Arabia.
Thanks for watching! :)

That fruit is called "barbed figs" or teen shawki (تين شوكي), another Saudi name for it would be Barshoomi (برشومي). I had several of them growing around my home and they taste amazing when they're ripe and sweet and succulent and refrigerated. It's kind of one of the most planted and harvested cacti in all of Arabia, especially in Hijaz and the south. Of course, all cacti come from the Americas so they're not native here, but they might as well seeing how much we love them lol.

All the respect to the most amazing lovely family tourists. I admired the idea that you are involving your children and enhancing there knowledge and experience through travelling. What a great parents you are ! I am from rijal almaa , born and raised there as alittle shepherd in the early days. back then every thing was very primitive . You eat what grow and havest you feed only on your land and animal products . Things have developed and evolved tremendously since then Now, I am close to retirement and i am considering building a little water park to help enhance the life style of the local people and add a value to the tourism in my town . What a great video... . May Allah watch over you and protect you where ever you go .

2:33 It's a fruit that has an outer layer of spikes that is chopped off so you can get to the part that can be eaten. You can usually find it being sold by people on the road near stores (it's called Barshomee in Saudi) just like the guy who was selling honey. You should also eat it cold as it makes it taste even better. Also, drink water after eating it so that it doesn't upset your stomach.

Love your attitude about exploring uncharted territories both distant geography and culture. Honestly It takes courage and faith in humanity to do what you're doing especially in this part of the world. As a Saudi I appreciate that. I don't know if you're still in the country, yet in my opinion I think Al Ahsa in the eastern region would seriously enrich and complements your Saudi journey wonderfully. Of course, if you can don't miss it! Wish all your family safe travels home.
