Heavy rainfall since October 27, 2024, has led to severe flooding across Saudi Arabia, with Mecca among the worst affected areas. Streets and pathways in the city, including the Grand Mosque, are heavily flooded, causing significant disruption for residents, pilgrims, and visitors.
The Saudi Civil Defence and local authorities actively manage the impact, urging people to stay indoors and avoid flooded areas. Areas like Hail, Qassim, Asir, and Jizan are expected to see even more rain through November 3.
Streets across entire cities have transformed into waterlogged areas, with roads submerged and widespread flooding evident everywhere.
Mecca has been particularly impacted, where flash floods have disrupted daily life and inundated street.
