August 2, 2017. The otherwise extremely arid region blooms when the monsoon, known as "al-khareef" in Arabic, drenches the southern Arabian peninsula with rainy clouds and drives stormy seas as locals and tourists celebrate the rain. While temperatures soar across the Arabian Peninsula, the cooler monsoon fog draws tens of thousands of tourists every summer. (Photo by Sam McNeil/AP Photo)
