The story

Hail Season in Hail

Hail Season is part of Saudi Arabia's regional tourism season program, promoting the northern Hail region's mountains, desert camping and seasonal rain-fed greenery as a draw for domestic and international visitors, alongside the area's growing role as a hub for pilgrims and travelers heading through the kingdom's north.

Hail, a region in Saudi Arabia's north defined by the granite peaks of the Aja and Salma mountain ranges, occupies an unusual niche in the kingdom's tourism landscape: unlike the desert heat associated with much of Saudi Arabia, Hail experiences occasional winter and spring rains that transform its landscape into unexpected greenery, drawing visitors specifically to witness that seasonal shift.
