In a scene that has aroused global astonishment and curiosity, circular fields in Saudi Arabia appear as massive works of art, visible even from space, including the International Space Station! These stunning fields, which rely on a pivot irrigation system, have become the talk of the world for their blend of technology, agriculture, and natural art.

 

Breathtaking view from above

Award-winning Saudi photographer Fahad Al-Hussein captured this unique beauty using a drone, revealing stunning details unseen from the ground.

 

Al-Hussein told CNN Arabic:

“This kind of beauty is rarely seen from the ground, but from the air these fields look like huge paintings.”

The Secret of Green Circles: Pivot Irrigation

The reason behind the perfect circular shape of these fields is the pivot irrigation system, an advanced system for evenly distributing water to the crops.
These fields are spread across several Saudi regions, such as Al-Jawf, Tabuk, Hail, and Al-Qassim, forming an incredible visual spectacle when viewed from satellite.

 

 

Appear from space and amaze the world

Hussein relied on satellite imagery to locate these agricultural axes before documenting them with his drone, noting that "what we see from above is beyond description."

These images sparked a wave of online interaction, with many followers around the world expressing their amazement at the beauty of modern Saudi agriculture, visible from space.

 

 

Technology and nature in one painting

Saudi Arabia's circular fields showcase a surprising interplay between agricultural innovation and nature, becoming a new symbol of the earth's beauty from above.
These scenes are no longer just local images, but have become a global phenomenon that arouses the curiosity of scientists and astronauts alike.
