Snow expected in northern Saudi Arabia

Snow is expected to blanket the northern areas in Saudi Arabia over the weekend, Al Arabiya News Channel reported.

The predicted snowstorm, which hails from a northerly direction, is the latest with a cold snap which has already hit Turkey, Jordan, Palestinian Territories, Israel and Lebanon on Friday.

In northern Saudi Arabia, regions such Tabouk, al-Jawf, Rafah and Tareef are expected to be blanketed with snow.

In January, the snowstorm Huda hit the Middle East, causing snow in the desert kingdom.
