Bet You Didn't Know This Part of Saudi Arabia // Overland Series Ep.25

Описание: We are exploring the mountains of Saudi Arabia and enjoying the Red Sea in the beautiful Farasan Islands.

Join us in this episode where we explore one area of Saudi Arabia that normally tourists don't go to, but they should.

We leave the desert and start climbing up, as we climb up in altitude temperatures start going down and for the first time in a long time, we need to put the heater on.

We are shocked to see green everywhere around Abha and even more shocked to see baboons at 3000m altitude. We continue Southwest until we arrive at the Red Sea and we take a ferry to the Farasan Islands. These coral islands have nearly no infrastructure which makes them a paradise for Overlanders. We took the surfboards to paddle around the coral reef and later found the mangrove forest, full of pelicans. Amazing!


Enjoy the ride!
