Overview

The North Way is a Saudi documentary that chronicles an extraordinary walking journey undertaken by Albara and Abdul Rahman — accompanied throughout by their dog — covering 403 kilometers on foot from Gurayat to Sakaka through the northern reaches of Saudi Arabia. More than a physical challenge, the trek becomes an immersive encounter with the deep cultural values of the region: generosity, hospitality, and communal celebration that define life in the Saudi north. The film is a portrait of landscape and human connection, capturing the warmth of the communities the two walkers encounter along the way.
