The recent rainfall in Al-Baha Region has revitalized the local agricultural sector, transforming the region into a lush green landscape. Farms, fields, and orchards across the governorates have come to life, producing a bountiful harvest of seasonal fruits and crops.

Nestled amidst the Sarawat Mountains, Al-Baha boasts a diverse agricultural landscape, including corn, wheat, barley, fruit orchards, and vegetable fields.

The region’s natural beauty is further enhanced by the vibrant colors of chrysanthemum, lotus, and acacia flowers, as well as the fragrant aromas of basil, wormwood, and atam.

The abundant rainfall has filled the region’s dams and valleys. The Saudi Irrigation Organization reported a total of 7,538,000 cubic meters of rainfall and 10,387,000 cubic meters of discharged torrents. Four dams in Al-Baha have overflowed due to the recent downpour.

Farmers in the region have expressed happiness following the rainfall, which has led to increased production of essential crops. Tomatoes, cucumb
ers, and strawberries are among the most prominent; they not only meet local demand, they are also being exported to other regions. Summer crops like zucchini and okra are also grown in Al-Baha, but produced on a smaller scale.

The rainfall has made citizens reclaim their agricultural lands, clearing them of weeds and planting new crops. The tradition of farming has been revitalized, with older generations encouraging younger people to embrace agriculture and its potential.
