TONIGHT I'M GOING OUT. BUT NOT TO A CLUB OR A BAR BUT TO HIGH-END COFFEE SHOPS. THERE'S A BOUNCER
OUTSIDE. HERE IN SAUDI ARABIA THEY'VE BECOME THE GO-TO HOTSPOT FOR NIGHTLIFE. ALCOHOL IS ILLEGAL
HERE WHICH MAY BE ONE REASON WHY THE COFFEE SHOP CULTURE IS ON FIRE. THE OLDER GENERATION WEARING
THE MORE TRADITIONAL AND THE YOUNGER GENERATION. WOW VALET FOR A COFFEE SHOP. FIRST I'M MEETING UP
WITH FAHAD TO GO TO THIS BRAND NEW TRENDY PIZZA PLACE THEN I'M GOING TO THIS LUXURIOUS AREA
WHERE THEY SELL HIGH-END CEREALS. AND FINALLY I'M MEETING A GUY WHO QUIT HIS JOB IN FINANCE
TO HELP OPEN A TRENDY COFFEE SHOP SO WHAT IS IT LIKE TO SPEND A NIGHT OUT IN SAUDI ARABIA.
WELCOME WHAT'S UP
THESE LOOK LIKE A CLUB!
IS THIS KFC? YEAH KFC
THIS PLACE LOOKS VERY HIP FAHAD. YEAH. WHAT IS IT?
I'M AT A REALLY TRENDY PIZZA PLACE CALLED SO MUCH MORE PIZZA AND IT JUST OPENED ONE MONTH AGO AND AS
YOU CAN SEE THE DESIGN IS JUST RED, EVERYTHING. AND IT'S ACTUALLY KIND OF COOL I'VE NEVER BEEN
TO A PLACE ESPECIALLY A PIZZA PLACE THAT HAS A VIBE QUITE LIKE THIS THREE VIDEO GAMES AND UH
JUST A REALLY COOL ATMOSPHERE YEAH I DIDN'T KNOW A SAUDI WOMAN WOULD WEAR LIKE A T-SHIRT AND A HAT.
I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A CLUB THAT MUSIC. FAHAD SAYS THAT HE CAME HERE JUST A COUPLE DAYS AGO AND THE
LINE WAS 45 MINUTES JUST TO GET IN. WAIT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MUSIC? WE HAVE TIME BOTH PRAYER
TIME MUSIC BY THE VERY TIME UNTIL WE'RE FINISHED. JUST LIKE THE STORES CLOSE IN THE MALL EVERYWHERE
CLOSES FIVE TIMES A DAY THE OWNER OF THAT PIZZA PLACE IS A WOMAN AND SHE OPENED MULTIPLE PLACES
HERE IN THIS AREA AS WELL FOOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN A BIG DEAL GOING OUT TO EAT HAS BEEN A BIG DEAL
IN SAUDI FOR DECADES NOW BECAUSE IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GO TO CONCERTS OR MOVIE THEATERS
OR BARS OR CLUBS THEN FOOD BECOMES YOUR FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT AND I'M PRETTY SURPRISED TO SEE ALL
THESE LIKE REALLY COOL TRENDY LOOKING NEW EATERIES GOT A MAC AND CHEESE PLACE YOU GOT A PLACE CALLED
SNACK AND SUCH YOU GOT A KETO KITCHEN LOOK AT THAT KETO KITCHEN TRADITIONALLY YOUNG SAUDIS
LOVED THE AMERICAN STAPLES THE DOMINOES THE CHILIS THE IHOPS BUT NOW MORE AND MORE IT SEEMS LIKE
HOMEGROWN SAUDI PLACES ARE COMING YEAH YEAH ARE COMING SAUDI BRANDS AND THEY DESTROY THE MARKET
