JEDDAH: Pictures and videos of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman with visitors went viral on social media platforms.

According to Gulf news, Bandar Al Enezi and his eight cousins who were visiting the Al Ula mountains in Madinah last weekend were surprised when they saw Crown Prince touring the historical sites.

When they asked for a snap with the royal,  the friendly and patient crown prince readily agreed and happily posed with his countrymen.

“We shared the photos with our friends and it was only one hour later that we found the photos have spread all over social media, this was because the photos were spontaneous and natural,” Al Enezi told Al Arabiya.

The carved mountain rocks are the most important characteristic of Al-Ula  and home to the Madain Saleh site.
