An elderly Saudi woman expressed her joy for driving in the rain on one of the kingdom's highways by singing old folklore songs in the driver’s seat of her car. A video of the telling yet funny incident went viral on social media platforms.
The video, which was shot by the woman’s friend who was in the passenger’s seat, received a lot of attention where Twitter users noted that it shows that women can indeed control a moving vehicle, even in less-than-ideal weather situations.
Others noted the woman’s joy for driving and experiencing rain which inspired her to sing the old folkloric songs that are derived from old Saudi Arabian tribal poems that speak about the beauty of rain.
These sort of songs are meant to inspire and entertain, and are not accompanied by musical instruments, but depend on the sounds of camel footsteps.
