How to Choose the Right Plants for Saudi Arabia’s Climate

Choosing the right plants for your landscape or garden is essential, especially in a country like Saudi Arabia with its harsh desert climate. Hot summers, minimal rainfall, and sandy or rocky soils can make plant selection a challenge — but not impossible.

In this blog, we’ll guide you through the best plant types and tips to help your garden thrive in the Saudi climate.
