And now for our daily shots this time in Saud beach. A Gloomy Yet Memorable Afternoon We Had at Saud Beach. My family and I together with one friend arrived at Saud Beach in a late gloomy afternoon and were greeted by dim cloudy skies and a gentle breeze that carried the salty smell of the sea. Despite the lack of sunshine that time, the beach was serene in nature with its famous fine white sand that's so cool beneath the feet as we strolled along the shore. The water not its usual vibrant blue because of the sky, was still inviting and we dived in letting the gentle waves lap at our bodies in the shallow areas. The dimmed sunlight gave the scene a peaceful and almost dreamlike quality, as if time had slowed just for us.

Two local dogs were there too witnessed our presence, they maybevlikely beach regulars andvjoined our little adventure, splashing in the shallows sands and chasing each other with playful acts. Their joy was contagious, adding an unexpected warmth to the gloomy afternoon as other beach goers saw them also. Them dogs shook seawater everywhere as their carefree energy a reminder of simple pleasures in life.

As evening about to approached, we settled on the sand to watch the horizon, we also brought three convertible chairs. The clouds parted just enough to let the golden hour peek through while painting the sky in soft hues of pink and orange. The sunset wasn’t fiery or dramatic, but it was peaceful and indeed a quiet farewell to the day. We stayed until the last light faded into the horizon and then packed up our things and returned to our transient resort.
