This video will completely change your perception of Saudi Arabia as a tourist attraction!

Early in 2024, I finally fulfilled my long-time dream of embarking on an epic road trip around Saudi Arabia! We covered almost 3,000 km across the country, witnessing some of the most breathtaking sites I have ever seen, and here is a travel video that hopefully captures some of the epic sceneries we saw along the way!

We started in Riyadh, and drove up north to Hail before heading west to the stunning desert town of Al Ula, hugging the coast of the Red Sea, visited the second holiest Islamic site in Medina, relaxed in Jeddah, and drove all the way up the highest mountain in the country and crossed the ridge into Abha, completing our itinerary.

It took us over 10 days of constantly moving across the Arabian Desert. It was one hell of a rewarding trip! There has never been a better time to visit Saudi Arabia than now, thanks to its Vision 2030 project that opens up the country more and more every day!

I hope you will enjoy this 3-minute road trip I am taking you and I hope it will inspire you to visit the country one day!

Location: Riyadh, Edge of the World, Hail, Al Ula, Medina, Jeddah, Abha.

Wondering what camera I am currently using? Here are all the camera gear I usually take with me when I am traveling:

Camera: Sony a7R V, the highest resolution full-frame camera out there, is my go-to camera when I travel. All of my recent photos and videos are all from this beast.
All-Around Travel Lens: Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II lens is the lens I mounted on my camera the most. The lens covers most of the ranges I need for travel from wide to telephoto. If I have to take only one lens with me on my travel, it would be this lens.
Ultra-Wide Lens: Sony 16-35mm F2.8 GM II Lnes: An ultra-wide lens I often use to shoot expansive landscapes and capture massive architecture I stumble upon while traveling.
Telephoto Lens: Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM II lens is one of the most versatile lenses to have. It is great for picking out details in landscapes and capturing wildlife when combined with the Sony FE 2x teleconverter.
Portrait Lens: Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG DN Lens is the most compact and lightweight 85mm F1.4 lens out there. It's sharp and produces stunning bokeh for subject separation, perfect for portraits and street photography.
Drone: DJI Mavic Mini 2, a perfect drone for those who travel light. It weighs less than 250g and smaller than an iPhone when folded and can capture 4K video as well as 12 megapixels RAW photos. More than enough for its size.
Bag: Langly Alpha Globetrotter is a camera bag I use to carry all these lenses as well as other essentials when I'm traveling.
