SAUDI ARABIA: Camels, CouchSurfing, and the World's Tallest Tower That Never Was
About this episode
In this episode, Palle Bo concludes his journey in Saudi Arabia, exploring local culture, CouchSurfing experiences, and the Jeddah Tower.
In this final episode from Saudi Arabia, I travel from the peaceful Red Sea town of Yanbu to vibrant Jeddah – and end the journey at the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival near Riyadh. Along the way, I meet generous locals at a night market, stay with a kind CouchSurfing host, and visit the world's tallest unfinished skyscraper, the Jeddah Tower, now standing eerily still in the desert. The trip ends in true Saudi style – surrounded by majestic camels competing in a beauty contest with millions at stake. This country has surprised me in every way.
