Ever seen a desert camel covered in white snow and not golden sand? Yes, that happened recently when northern Saudi Arabia experienced snowfall! The images look almost unreal. But imagine a land long associated with summer, sun and sand suddenly engulfed by a delicate white blanket of snow. It was like winter briefly rewrote the story of Tabuk landscape. As the temperatures dropped sharply, especially at higher elevations, snowfall began. By the time the skies cleared, parts of northern Saudi Arabia were experiencing temperatures below freezing. It is a rare but striking moment.
Even camels looked happy covered under winter snow. For a change it wasn’t summer sand for camels. It was a beautiful transformation that unfolded after a powerful cold air mass swept across the region. It arrived with rain and strong winds. The day marked a dramatic shift in weather.
Look at the images and be mesmerized by the beauty:
