Torrential rains in Najran region have led to sustained flooding in Wadi Najran. The floodwaters, originating from the Najran Dam and surrounding valleys and reefs, have continued to flow through the wadi for several days. Wadi Najran is one of the largest valleys in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as it extends for 180 kilometers to the east, starting between the mountains in the far west of the city and ending in the sands of the Empty Quarter. Its average width in the plains is 1,000 meters, and its tributaries come from the Hijaz Mountains and the plateaus surrounding the region. The flow of torrential rains in the valley through palm plantations and historic mud houses provides breathtaking landscapes that attract visitors to spend beautiful and enjoyable times with family and friends and take pictures of the place.
