Viral videos of mountains in Arabia turning green on social media, especially on Twitter. The video was uploaded by @theholymosques on January 7 2023 and received more than 1.4 million views, 3.7 thousand tweets and 13 thousand likes.
"Video: Mountains in Mecca turning green after some rain recently," wrote the account.
Netizens were excited to write their comments on social media. Some associate it with the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW spoken thousands of years ago.
"Is this what the Apostle said... The signs of doomsday the desert turns green..." said @adheshamin.
"End of the age but this is beautiful," said @Dreamer4927.
"It's so real, it's like a dream, it's so weird, does anyone feel the same way?" said @HamzaAshour18.
However, reports on the website of Haramain Sharifain say that the situation in the mountains and valleys in Mecca and Medina will return to barren after the rainy season ends.
In fact, green vegetation can appear in dry areas dominated by deserts, such as Mecca, Jeddah and Medina. The appearance of green vegetation can occur after heavy rains have occurred in the last few days in Saudi Arabia with the highest rainfall recorded since December 2022.
