Tabuk
Whenever the news strikes with headlines of snow start falling in Saudi Arabia, the first city that comes to our mind is Tabuk.
Most of the videos that show Saudis enjoying snow are filmed in Tabuk. The Jabal Al Lawz that lies just near Tabuk is where layers of snow cover the sand of the mountain. The atmosphere is cold and dry so make sure you carry your moisturizing products.
Arar
Arar, located near the Saudi-Iraq border is a cool city where the temperature rarely falls below zero, yet a thin carpet of snow covers the fertile sand.
The visit there is always great: one can enjoy great weather and witness snow.

Rafha temperature in summer can reach as high as 49°C while in winter it snows! The city rests near the Iraq border. Rafha is the city that has actually experienced some heavy snowfalls.
