Rain in Yanbu

It was a little shower in Yanbu last Thursday. The rain only took 20 to 30 minutes but yet made some streets flooded. The last rain in Yanbu was on October 2006.

Here rain was greatly welcomed by the local as it is unusual phenomenon in this country. We can see children going out to the street and playing in the rain. We can see smiles and happiness on their faces if there is rain pour.
