<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arab Weather - The signs of spring have begun to appear in the Qatan mountain range located west of the Qassim region, after a rainy season that enriched the region with wild plants and highlighted its natural beauty. With this picturesque transformation, the place has become an attractive destination for hikers and desert lovers, who flock to enjoy nature.<br /> Photographer Abdulrahman Ibrahim Al Majed documented a distinctive group of photos showing the beginning of spring, where wild plants covered vast areas, adding a unique charm to the natural landscape. Al Majed also captured the beauty of the historical caves embraced by the Qatan Mountains, completing a captivating natural painting.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Geographical location of the Qatan Mountains</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The Qatan Mountains are located west of the Qassim region, near Uqlat Al-Suqur, and are a popular destination for hikers, especially during the winter and spring seasons when the area is adorned with breathtaking natural beauty.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Qattan Center, one of the centers of Al-Qassim region, is located approximately 245 kilometers from Buraidah city.
