Al-Neyadi said in the video: "We are now in the morning, and we are currently roaming over the Arabian Peninsula, and there is nothing more beautiful than a view of the homeland at the beginning of the day," as he began to open the windows in order to photograph the view of the Gulf countries from space.

And Al-Niyadi brought the camera close to show Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, then Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the Emirates, focusing on the capital, Abu Dhabi, passing through Dubai.

He continued, "In a few moments, we floated around the Arabian Peninsula in a few minutes, because the station rotates at a speed of 27,000 kilometers per hour, which is a very great speed."

At the end of the video, he added: "I wanted to share with you this moment, a look at the homeland, and contemplation of its terrain and stunning scenery."
