Sled your way through a snow day in Saudi

It’s hard not to smile when thinking about snow sledding no matter where you are — but especially in Saudi, where snowfall is not as common as in other places around the world. Snow’s novelty in Saudi is part of what makes sledding an even more enticing winter activity. When it does snow, the locals take advantage by heading for the slopes with sleds and enjoying the views all the way down the wintry trails. Sledding is a great way to kick off a snow day in Saudi.

What to Do

  • Child snow sledding in the mountains northwest of Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.

    Snow sledding

    While visitors can go sand sledding and sandboarding year-round in Saudi, winter brings the unique opportunity to go snow sledding, too. Head to the mountains northwest of Tabuk with a sandboard in tow, and use it as a makeshift sled to glide down snow-covered trails.

  • SUV on the snow covered mountains near Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.

    Before and after sledding

    Before you sled down the trails at locations like Jabal Al Lawz, the highest mountain in the Tabuk Province, consider renting a 4x4 vehicle to get there. After a gleeful ride through the mountains, build a campfire to warm up and relax around before another run or two.
