Yes, you read that right. A video has been doing rounds on social media in which an icy river is flowing through the Saudi Arabian desert.

With the winter having begun across the Kingdom, many regions across the country have seen heavy rains over the past few weeks. This particular river is believed to have originated from a hailstorm.

While the exact location of the river has not been identified, social media users suspect it to be in the region of Hail in Saudi.

This is however not the first time that a river has sprung up in Saudi, heavy rains create temporary rivers mostly flowing through dry river beds.  But a river made from hail, now this is something unique. Take a look for yourself.
