Arar is the northern destination of Saudis for cakes on Eid al-Adha

ArabiaWeather.com - The city of Arar is located in the northern border region in the far north of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the Iraqi border. It is the administrative capital and the urban and commercial center of the northern border region.

The city was named by this name in relation to the valley of Arar, which cuts it from the south to the northeast, and in which juniper trees abound.

Arar is characterized by its presence in the north of the Kingdom, and thus it is one of the first regions to witness a decline in summer heat, especially during the end of September and October, when the weather becomes mild, especially during the night hours, which makes it a popular destination for camping and road trips.

The city of Arar is about 1100 km from the city of Riyadh near the Iraqi border, at an altitude of 530 meters above sea level, at latitude 30 and longitude 41, in the heart of a vast rocky plain composed of limestone, and about 65 km from the Iraqi border.

There are many valleys in it, as the Arar Valley penetrates it from the south to the north, and it meets the Badna Valley in the northeast of the city.
