A traveler explores the historical district of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, before embarking on a motorcycle journey to Moon Valley. The trip is marked by cultural discoveries, technical struggles with a SIM card, and a challenging night of camping after dropping their heavy bike during a storm.
Right, so we are in the historical part of Jeddah.
So we'll explore a little bit here right now.
It is very interesting.
It smells so good here because you have all the spice shops and everything here.
So it smells delicious.
It's incredible.
They make tahini and everything.
Brilliant.
So cool.
It's really lovely.
I was asking about the design of the balconies.
Because some of them look like this.
And it's of course for the heat and for the sun, but as well for the women.
Because they couldn't show themselves.
So it was easier for them to just go there.
And you know, you have these small halls.
Look at the cats.
But it's so cute.
Cat's feeder station.
It doesn't even have a footer.
It has a gate.
That's so cool.
This is super amazing.
Yeah, look at the doors.
The balconies.
Yeah, it's just stepping back in time.
Do you see this?
You have like different kind of sections.
So you come with your partner and you sit in here and you have your own little place to eat.
It's very common in the Middle East.
It looks like this.
You gather together and eat on the floor.
Or with a table in there.
Yeah, so let's eat.
What is this?
This is a secret formula.
You know, you have so many different kind of types of dates.
I don't even know the difference.
Hello!
Welcome to Saudi Arabia.
Yep, I look like a lobster.
And I will look like a lobster.
I'm a bit green though.
I look like the Hulk.
Anyway, good morning all my beautiful people.
Hope you're doing well.
I am going from Jeddah.
I'm leaving for another place.
I will go to...
Not the mountain yet.
I will go there probably tomorrow.
For now, I'm gonna go to the Moon Valley.
And I'm just gonna pack all my stuff and then we go.
It's around four o'clock.
So the sun is going down slowly, slowly.
So it's alright traveling right now.
I have plenty of water.
And in the Moon Valley, I will do some camping.
Yes, I will sleep there.
Out with all the scorpions and snakes.
I'm kidding.
It will be okay, I'm sure.
But out there, I will sleep and enjoy the solitude.
So let's go.
Righty-righty-whoo.
We have everything packed and done.
I'm gonna go to the STC.
I have my SIM card is from there.
Because I have so bad internet wherever I go.
In the beginning, it worked perfectly.
But when I started traveling after a week, it stopped basically working.
It's really slow.
So I need to go and ask them what's going on.
And after that, we're heading to the Moon Valley.
So let's do that.
What a mosque.
And Jeddah has the Formula One here as well.
This is the place where they do it.
Okay, man.
And it's not so far from Mecca.
You know, the birthplace of Islam, Mecca.
There you can go and visit the Kaaba.
I'm not allowed to go there because I'm a foreigner and I'm not a Muslim.
So I'm not allowed to go there.
But for all the Muslims, they have to go there once in their life, apparently.
Well, well, well, look at that.
For you who knows, you knows.
IKEA.
They really like America here.
Like North America.
You see Starbucks, Dunkin's, McDonald's.
They're like the most popular one.
Fast food chains you find here in Saudi Arabia.
At least where I've been driving.
Oh, he tried to help me as much as he could at the STC.
But I had to change the SIM card because mine is apparently broken somehow.
But he tried with my fingerprints to change it.
But the machine didn't take my fingerprint.
So we couldn't fix it.
Tomorrow I have to go to another STC and try to figure it out.
Well, well, it's what it is.
I have a little bit of internet.
Just so slow.
Because I tried another SIM card from him and then it was super fast.
Like it should be.
So something happened with my card.
All good.
Full tank.
I have food.
Let's get out to the valley.
Let's go to the moon.
Dun, dun, dun.
Let's go.
Somewhere in here I will camp for the night.
You just gotta find a good spot.
I found this one on IO Lander.
So I'm not sure.
It looks like a little camp over there.
So I will see how far you can go.
It's so beautiful, eh?
Look.
Oh, they have some doggies here.
Probably don't like my motorcycle.
Oof, it's a lot of rubbish.
I don't know why I can't pick her up.
It's like I have no energy left since the heat of the day.
Yeah.
No, I will try.
I will try.
It's just...
Oh, how they swarm.
I can't get it up.
I don't know why.
I think I'm too weak.
Yeah, it seems like I have to camp here in this spot.
With all the dogs in the mountains.
And the cat or whatever it is.
That's what I can do.
And get new energy maybe later.
Because now I just need to eat.
I need to drink.
And I need to relax a little bit to gain my energy again.
But honestly, I'm so tired.
I'm just...
I don't know why I could take her up like several times before.
But not now.
Not today.
I must be so weak today.
So tired.
Oh, it frustrates me so much.
Sarek.
A screaming dog.
That was not really what I wished for tonight.
And the thing was, I went to a car over there.
But there was no one there.
And when I walked back, of course that person come back and drove away.
So...
But...
Yeah, not giving up.
It's gonna get dark.
But I have my torch and everything.
And the screaming dog.
So we'll be all right.
I have food, water, everything.
So no problem.
We'll figure it out.
I can't pick her up.
So I decided to pitch my tent, which is there.
And I will stay here with her.
And...
Yeah.
Tomorrow I'll probably try again in the early morning before the heat starts.
But I'm so disappointed with myself.
I'm so stubborn.
I've tried so many times now.
I don't understand why I can't pick her up when I picked her up so many times.
Don't know.
I don't know.
But I have reception here.
So it's no problem.
And the road is not that far away.
So it's okay.
It's just...
I'm so stubborn.
Yeah.
So it's gonna be me and the scorpions and the snakes here tonight.
And two dogs.
And I don't know.
It sounds like a cat up there.
Might be a leopard.
Who knows?
That's okay.
That's not what scares me.
It's not animals.
Scorpions, okay.
But I'm sure I'll be fine.
The problem is that I want to get her up when I have something in my mind.
I really want it to happen.
But we have to accept.
It didn't work now.
Maybe it works tomorrow or later on.
But yeah, I'm not giving up.
I'm not giving up.
There are always solutions.
I know it's a heavy bike.
But I've done it plenty of times before.
I just don't get it.
I think it's...
I don't know.
I use the technique I've always done.
But maybe it's the sand or something.
I have no idea.
It's okay.
Policest, darling.
She's laying down.
Yep.
She's all right.
She's not damaged or anything.
So that's okay.
Yeah, I decided to make a try in the morning instead.
Because I'm so tired now.
And there's lightning in the sky.
So it's coming a storm.
There's so much wind.
And I can see lightning in the sky.
I hope it won't be a flooding or something.
Because Sarek is like in a ditch.
How do you say?
She's not in a good place where she's laying.
But what can I do?
What can I do?
Yeah.
It's a double.
Dropped my bike and a storm is coming.
Hope I survived the night.
Enough.
I don't like this at all.
Seriously.
I'm just gonna hide in my tent and make a prayer.
I can't do much more.
It's crazy.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's a big storm coming.
So good.
Okay.
Well, I don't have any option.
I ordered this tonight.
I checked the forecast.
I was supposed to eat this.
