It’s hard to imagine a country which is known to be a vast land of deserts to experience snow.
But this area in Saudi Arabia proves it wrong. Located in the northwest of the Kingdom across the Red Sea, Tabuk experienced snow periodically every year.
Last January 10, the residents of Tabuk province were greeted by the snow which usually blankets the area during April or Spring season.
People took to social media to share their experience in this phenomenon.
