A wild sandstorm engulfed Saudi Arabia's Jeddah city on Tuesday.
The Gulf region is no stranger to sandstorms, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where wild sandstorms have known to engulf cities in recent years.
Residents took to social media to post pictures and videos of the sandstorm as it engulfed the city:
Some cancelled their plans to go out as the storm got thicker:
