This Travel Influencer’s Vlogs From Saudi Perfectly Capture The Essence Of What Travelling In The Country Is Actually Like

Avatar

Travel TomTom has been travelling around Saudi Arabia for the past few days, and he has done quite a lot, from catching sweeping views of Riyadh from the tallest building in the country, living it up in fancy hotels in AlUla to even catching a Bruno Mars concert.

As always, his vlogs have been super insightful and offer a great glimpse of what awaits tourists in the country.

His search for the most beautiful mosque in Riyadh led him to the King Khalid mosque, which you could argue is actually true.

@traveltomtom Looked on Google to find the most beautiful mosque 🕌 in Riyadh and ended up in the King Khalid Grand Mosque. Beautiful place with super friendly people giving us a tour. Although every worship place has its own charm and beauty I was actually wondering why Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia does not have a majestic grand mosque like in Muscat, Abu Dhabi, Lahore, Istanbul, etc. 🤷🏽‍♂️ #riyadh #mosque ♬ original sound – Traveltomtom

His vlog on noticing that no one walks in Saudi is super relatable.

@traveltomtom Is there anyone in Saudi that walks to get around? Or I am the only one! It is very much not common. Everyone drives and takes a car or taxi to get anywhere. But when walking is pretty much the same time as a taxi then it is an easy choice for me! Good idea? 😂 #tiktoksaudiarabia #ksa ♬ original sound – Traveltomtom

He was lucky enough to be in AlUla when the one and only Bruno Mars was performing in town. Talk about luck!

@traveltomtom Ok, I must say you are actually pretty cool Mr. Bruno Mars! Unexpectedly so much fun. Probably the best concert I have ever been to, but it is only my second time ever at a concert! 😜😂 Guess which artist I saw at my first concert ever? 😉 #brunomars #saudiarabia🇸🇦 ♬ original sound – Traveltomtom

Ah, the quintessential camel meat experience!

@traveltomtom Yes it is common to eat camel 🐫 in Saudi! So when you travel to Saudi Arabia you have to try camel meat. And I will be honest it is actually pretty nice, very tender, but also strong taste and smell, so may be not for everyone! #saudia #saudi_tiktok ♬ original sound – Traveltomtom

A bucket list item on every tourist’s list: getting a bird’s-eye view of Riyadh from the top of the Kingdom Centre. Epic!

@traveltomtom Welcome to one of the best places to visit in Saudi. Follow me to the top of #Riyadh where for 69 SAR which is about $18 you have the best view of the city. The Kingdom Tower is an iconic building in Riyadh and you can visit the sky bridge on the 99th floor. Amazing fact is that the Kingdom Tower also houses the highest mosque in Saudi on the 77th floor! 🙌🏽🕌 #saudiarabia #saudiarabia_tiktok ♬ original sound – Traveltomtom
