Saudi Arabia just unlocked winter mode…and it’s one for the history books!

This week, the Kingdom surprised everyone as snow blanketed parts of the north, transforming familiar desert landscapes into scenes straight out of a winter postcard.

While Tabuk is no stranger to snowfall, what truly stole the spotlight was Hail, which witnessed snow for the first time in nearly 80 years,  a moment many residents never thought they’d see in their lifetime!

In Trojena, the mountain destination located on Jebel Al-Lawz in Tabuk Province and rising up to 2,600 meters, snow covered the peaks while light rain added to the magical atmosphere. Known for hiking and future skiing plans, the area looked every bit like a winter retreat, proving once again why Tabuk often earns the title of Saudi Arabia’s snow capital.

Meanwhile, rain made its presence felt across several other areas. Bir Bin Hermas, Al-Ayinah, Ammar, and Shaqra and its surrounding suburbs experienced light to moderate rainfall, giving cities a much-needed refresh and adding to the overall winter vibes across the Kingdom.

But the weather surprises may not be over just yet. According to forecasts, there’s a chance of more snowfall,  and this time, places further south could be in for the surprise.

Northern parts of the Riyadh region and even Al-Qassim could potentially see snow, following the historic scenes already witnessed in Tabuk and Hail!

From first-time snowfall in Hail to familiar snowy peaks in Tabuk, and the possibility of snowflakes drifting into Riyadh’s northern areas and Qassim, Saudi Arabia’s winter is proving to be anything but ordinary.

One thing’s for sure: this season will be remembered, and shared, for years to come!
