Stunning scenes of Wadi Maraj stream in Saudi Arabia

Since December 2022, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has witnessed heavy rains and torrential rains in a number of regions, and the rains have caused the mountains to turn green, and Wadi Maraj appeared in the south of Ghumika, east of Al-Lith, in the Kingdom, in a wonderful aesthetic view at the time of the rains.

The video documented by photographer Rashood Al-Harthy shows the beauty of the scene, the waterfalls flowing from the ground, and the greenery that filled the place.
