🍗 ALBAIK - Saudi Arabian Fast Food: https://youtu.be/nLR0IxeRveo 🌶️ Get Smoked Ghost Pepper: https://www.kivahealthfood.com/markghostpepper 🔔 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@MarkWiens JIZAN, SAUDI ARABIA - Welcome to the remote Jizan Region of Saudi Arabia, located on the Red Sea, and along the border of Yemen. Today we’re taking a ferry to the Farasan Islands, beautiful Red Sea islands where the people are extremely friendly and the culture is so pure and authentic. We’ll be touring around the island, trying some of the local food, and then the highlight will be a full Farasan Islands seafood meal on the beach - everything home cooked. It’s going to be an incredible day of Red Sea Arabian food, and I can’t wait to share it all with you now! Jazan City - 40 kilometers off the coast of Jazan, Saudi Arabia, within the Red Sea are the Farasan Islands. There are around 80 different islands, home to a just a small population of around 12,000 permanent residents - many of whom still maintain their local traditions. To get there, you take a short 1 hour ferry ride, and when you arrive you can actually feel this sense of relaxation and friendliness when you arrive. Local breakfast - we first headed to a local spot to have a quick breakfast of deep fried batter, some a little sweet and some with a little curry powder taste. It was a perfect way to get started. Afterwards to we continued on to the market. Unfortunately the fish auction only takes place in the afternoon, so we weren’t able to see it, but we did meet some very friendly locals and try some of the local Farasan islands melons. Huge seafood meal - Finally to complete this amazing day in the Farasan Islands, we were invited to a local seafood cookout on the beach to make some of the traditional foods of Farasan Islands; Marsah - mashed banana bread pudding; Sayadiyeh - fish with rice; Megash - sesame oil fish; Helba - fenugreek sauce are just a few of the wonderful dishes. I loved the meal and the atmosphere and our incredible new friends. The food was all fantastic, but I think the highlight was the megash - fish boiled in sesame oil, something truly delicious and something you have to eat when you’re in the Farasan Islands. 🎵MUSIC: https://goo.gl/HwVjdo —————————————————— 📱FOLLOW: Instagram: https://instagram.com/migrationology Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/migrationology —————————————————— 🌶️ 🌶️🌶️ NEW: Smoked Ghost Pepper Available Now: Direct: https://www.kivahealthfood.com/markghostpepper Amazon: https://amzn.to/3PNTvNQ (affiliate link on Amazon in US)

Despite being so engrossed in the delicious food, it is worth mentioning that Mark's deep respect for their culture and religion was apparent as he ensured the camera was moved away whenever the Aunty drank water, etc. ❤

সৌদি আরবের দৃশ্যগুলো দেখতে আমার অনেক ভালো লাগে আর সৌদি আরবের খাবার গুলো সত্যিই অসাধারণ খুব খুব মজার হয়।
