KSA is amazing. One of the best kept secrets out there but not for much longer.

KSA is amazing. One of the best kept secrets out there but not for much longer.
Many YouTube's videos talking about the desert becoming greeny and flourishing with grass and plants the past 2 years .

Any Saudi can confirm or debunks this?

Is there any scientific studies or even a serious journalist survey ?

@Nabil

I think that after every heavy rainfall during winter in KSA, large parts of the desert/arid areas in KSA turn green. It is an annual occurrence and lasts during winter and spring. When summer starts and high temperatures start again and rainfall becomes sparse, the greenery tends to end in those areas of KSA. Some other areas are green all year round in KSA. Remember that 50% of KSA is heavily mountainous. For instance Hijaz and the entire South, however even the interior Najd (highland in Arabic) has large mountainous areas. Riyadh, the capital, for instance, is located 600 meters above sea level. When I lived in KSA, almost all locals, when not going abroad, they escaped to the mountains during the 3 main summer months (June, July and August) and even the Saudi Arabian government leaves Riyadh (capital) for Tai'if, a city located over 2000 meters above sea level in Hijaz, during the summer months.

Also remember, that during the time of Prophet Muhammad (saws), what is modern-day KSA, Arabia and the Middle East as a whole, was more fertile, which is why we hear stories of companions of Prophet Muhammad (saws) hunting lions etc. and other dangerous wild animals. The last lion in KSA was killed over 100 years ago.

But KSA plans to plant 20 billion trees and a lot of KSA has turned into fertile lands. In the past few decades an area the size of Belgium and Netherlands put together have turned fertile/green which is why KSA is now almost self-sufficient when it comes to food/agriculture and one of the main agriculture producers in the Arab world.

Yes, that is a real building!

The ancient Al-Ula and Hagra + numerous other Nabatean ruins (3000 + years) make up one of the largest archeological areas on the planet. All a World UNESCO Heritage Site.

یہ سعودیہ ہے!
سعودی دارالحکومت ریاض میں منعقد فیشن شو میں "عرب" اور غیر ملکی فاحشاوں کی آمد۔۔۔

بن سلمان سعودیہ کو عریانی، بےحیائی اور بےدینی کا نیا مرکز بنا رہا ہے اور امام حرم اسکے لیے دعا کرتا ہیکہ وہ اسلام اور مسلمانوں کی "خدمت" کررہا ہے۔

یہ کم سے کم عریاں ویڈیو ہے!

The Messenger of Allah had made a will to expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula.
Look, Al-Saud made a prostitute, a disbeliever woman, a model of the Kaaba, and they are squeezing her.
Like the freedom of Al-Aqsa from the Jews is a duty on the Muslims.
In this way, the freedom of Haram Sharifeen from Al-Saud is without a doubt farz-e-ain.

شور ہے، ہو گئے دنیا سے مسلماں نابود
ہم یہ کہتے ہیں کہ تھے بھی کہیں مسلم موجود
وضع میں تم ہو نصاریٰ تو تمدّن میں ہنود
یہ مسلماں ہیں! جنھیں دیکھ کے شرمائیں یہود
یوں تو سیّد بھی ہو، مرزا بھی ہو، افغان بھی ہو
تم سبھی کچھ ہو، بتاؤ تو مسلمان بھی ہو
