WATCH: Saudis snap selfies with Crown Prince during his tour of historic city

Twitter users in Saudi Arabia have been sharing pictures and videos of several people who met and were able to take selfies with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a tour of the al-Ula mountains in Madinah.

A video shows one man expressing his happiness at catching Prince Mohammed during his tour, followed by several selfies taken by other locals who were also all smiles during their encounter with the crown prince.

The carved mountain rocks are the most important characteristic of Al-Ula which go back to thousands of years.

Al-Ula is the largest archaeological city in the kingdom, and home to the Madain Saleh site - a carved rock facade and a number of Islamic monuments represented in a number of castles and forts.
