Video depicting snowfall at the Grand Mosque of Holy Kaaba is deemed fake by Saudi Arabia

The Grand Mosque in Makkah was depicted in a popular viral video clip showing heavy snowfall, but this is a fake, according to Saudi Arabia's meteorological agency.

In the altered footage, visitors to the Holy Kaaba can be seen taking advantage of the heavy snowfall while wearing white robes. 

The doctored video shows pilgrims enjoying the heavy snowfall surrounding the Holy Kaaba while snapping pictures and films. They are dressed in white robes. Thousands of social media users shared the unusual moment's 55-second video and several images.

However Saudia Arabian official account of Hermain Sharifain stated that the video circulationg on social media is fake in a tweet.

The Makkah region comprises Makkah city, the holiest place in Islam, where millions of pilgrims undertake the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages each year, as well as Jeddah, the second-largest city in the country with a population of around four million.
