People! I'm in Saudi Arabia!

Saudi Arabia is a country of contrasts, where Botox-injected camels compete in beauty pageants, and luxury coexists with strict traditions. Here you'll learn about the crimes for which people can be executed, what rights women have, and why polygamy is still considered the norm.

I strolled through shopping malls, changed into traditional clothing, sampled local dishes, attended a camel auction, and chatted with Russian women married to Saudi men. What is life like in a world where oil has brought untold wealth and where there are practically no poor people left?

This is Anton Lyadov, The People channel. Let's go!

People! We visited Saudi Arabia, an incredibly fascinating country. Our trip was truly captivating, thanks to the following:

Olga Komarova, a resident of Riyadh, gave us a tour of the capital, sharing the country's unique features: https://www.instagram.com/oloosha_eas... *

Alisa and Ahmed, Saudi Arabian residents, told us about local traditions: https://www.instagram.com/life_in_ksa... *

Mamdouh Alanazi, a local resident, showed us how the Bedouins live in the desert and introduced us to his family.

Faleh Alanazi, a camel owner.

We visited the home of a local family in Riyadh, Abdullah Alsadoun and Nourah Alsadoun. They told us how local Saudis live and treated us to dishes from their country. They also have a website where you can meet and visit different families in Saudi Arabia, a unique experience: https://hihome.sa, https://hihome.sa/en/experience/1001/...
