I came across photos of a sandstorm sweeping across Riyadh at The Might of the Pen blog. Here’s a sample, but go to the blog to see the others.

More photos, of Riyadh in the midst of the sandstorm at In partibus infidelium which also provide a link to a YouTube video. There are several other videos, from different vantage points and of lengths from a few seconds to seven minutes to be found on the side bar at the YouTube link.

Thank you very much, John, for mentioning my blog. Is an honour for me.
This sand storm was one of the strongest, if not the strongest, I have seen in Riyadh since 1990, and it happened suddenly in a matter of 15 minutes. Amazing.

Jeddah is pretty dusty as well. This is the third day in a row that we’ve had a dust storm. Though it’s not as bad as the one in Riyadh.
