Riyadh Got Hit By A Sandstorm This Morning And It Looked Quite Spooky

Hera Shabbir

Riyadh’s weather is officially heading over to the hotter side and this sandstorm took everyone by surprise


Residents of the capital woke up to this sight that is predicted to last until 7pm today. Sandstorms are quite common around this time of year, but unfortunately always dull down the day and sunshine.

The Kingdom’s Civil Defense also issued an official warning on the poor visibility advising people to stay indoors

Citizens had even appealed to the Ministry of Education to close down schools for the remaining hours due to the severe weather.

Some even measured the visibility outdoors that apparently doesn’t show much past 300 meters

People took to their socials to share images of the movie-like scene of the sandstorm.
