Al-Makhwah:Fog shrouded the slopes of Shada Al-Asfal Mountain in Al-Makhwah Governorate of Al-Baha, creating a striking natural spectacle. Lightning flashed across the skies over Tihama amid moderate to heavy rainfall, with waterfalls cascading down the mountainsides. The area experienced mild weather, while temperatures dropped noticeably in Al-Baha's Sarawat highlands.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the scene at Shada Al-Asfal was particularly captivating as thick fog enveloped its peaks and agricultural terraces. The combination of flashes of lightning, the rumble of thunder, and falling rain added to the spectacle, especially at sunset. Twilight colors blended with white clouds spilling down the slopes and mist curling around the towering peaks.
The Saudi Press Agency captured images of torrents of water cascading down the mountainsides, cutting through terraced fields and valleys lush with trees. Sunlight filtering through the clouds highlighted the landscape's beauty, creating a striking interplay of light, water, and greenery.
Shada Al-Asfal is renowned as one of Saudi Arabia's most beautiful tourist attractions and a natural gem in the Middle East. Its appeal lies in its rich natural, agricultural, and cultural heritage, as well as its caves and grottos with distinctive geological formations. These features offer visitors an experience reflecting Tihama's distinct character and the natural and cultural diversity between Tihama and Sarawat.
