<\/p>\nImage Credits: Sabq<\/em><\/p>\n A 120-year-old Saudi man, Khunaifar Al Diyabi, has lived through and seen a lot. With seven daughters and five sons- Al Diyabi says he can barely remember all his 38 <\/strong>grandchildren’s names.\u00a0<\/p>\n Al Diyabi told Sabq his national identity papers state he’s only 111-years-old, but he had been told by older people in his family before that he was actually over 120- years-old.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Khunaifar says that there is no official secret, as God chooses the time you have in this world. However, he does swear by drinking camel milk and eating dates. Glorious.\u00a0<\/p>\n Going for daily walks in the desert is also another past-time for Al Diyabi. His advice for this generation is for them to “eat homemade food as dishes from some restaurants aren’t healthy.”\u00a0<\/p>\n He recalls pilgrimage trips would take him two months, by camel, having gone to Hajj three times and even meeting the founder of Saudi Arabia- in one of those trips.\u00a0<\/p>\n “We greeted him on Mount Arafat, back then we’d all refer to him as Imam as he was a very religious man,” Al Diyabi said.\u00a0<\/p>\nWhen asked about his secrets to a long life..\u00a0<\/h3>\n
He even met the founder of Saudi Arabia, King Abdul Aziz Al Saud, during a pilgrimage\u00a0<\/h3>\n
