JEDDAH: The word safaha in Arabic means bad manners, poor conduct and ignorance.
These words, or at least some of them, could be applied to Saudi tourists who post video clips and pictures on social media websites like Snapchat, which only display their ignorance during their visit to famous European sites.
These tourists show ignorance toward heritage sites by posting silly comments and senseless pictures, portraying a bad image about Saudi citizens.
Speaking on the issue, Bandar bin Rbeian, a businessman, said such people have no respect, manners or morals. “They distort our values. All they care about is to run after fake fame through their irresponsible behavior.”
He stressed the importance of coming up with solutions to counter such behavior among Saudi tourists, even if it requires taking legal action like preventing them from traveling abroad.
Rbeian quoted the famous proverb: “We belong to our homelands as we belong to our mothers.” He said that people must join hands to fight against such practices. “Such stuff should be immediately deleted from their social media accounts,” he added.
