Arab Weather - With the arrival of winter in Saudi Arabia, joy fills the hearts of Saudis, as they have a special relationship with this season that combines a love of cold weather and a search for warmth. As soon as the country begins to be decorated with clouds and rain, and the natural landscapes are covered with the beauty of winter, Saudis spend their time outside, enjoying this special atmosphere.

Some people prefer to spend time in private chalets, while others prefer to go to the modern resorts in the big cities, especially in Riyadh, which has witnessed a great urban expansion.

Winter atmosphere, staying up late and nostalgia

Winter has its own charm, with an atmosphere that invites staying up late and inspires poems and songs that evoke feelings of nostalgia and touch the imagination. During this season, Saudis love to enjoy evenings in cafes that become increasingly crowded, attracting winter lovers with the warmth and intimate atmosphere they offer.

Details of Saudi winter from a cultural perspective

Social researcher Dr. Hassan Basfar confirms that Saudis love winter with its enchanting scenery and cool breezes, saying that they enjoy going out into the wilderness, where they gather around a campfire and chat under the stars on winter nights, and enjoy playing traditional and folk games and telling stories and tales. Saudi families also prepare for this season by preparing winter foods and buying warm clothes, which adds extra warmth to the cold weather.

Desert climate and its role in enhancing Saudis' love for winter

Meteorologist Turki Al-Mutairi explains that the nature of the desert climate in Saudi Arabia, which is characterized by high temperatures that sometimes reach the fifties in the summer, makes winter a special season. Most days of the year are dry and receive little rain, which makes Saudis look forward to enjoying the cold weather, especially through road trips and outings known as “kashtat.”

Al-Mubarakiya Season: Best Time to Go for a Walk

Al-Mutairi adds that the “Al-Mubarqaniyah” season is considered one of the best times for outings in Saudi Arabia, as it includes three stars: Al-Iklil, Al-Qalb, and Al-Shula, each of which lasts for thirteen days.
