Record levels of rain are causing flight delays, school closures and road blockages to Mecca.
Images posted to social media on Thursday show cars hurtling through the streets through raging torrents of water.
Rainfall in the southern region of Jeddah from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm on Thursday, at 179 millimeters, was the "heaviest" ever recorded.
This exceeded the amount of rainfall recorded in 2009, when thousands of people were affected by flash floods.
King Abdulaziz International Airport said "due to weather conditions, some flights were delayed" and urged passengers to contact carriers for updated schedules.
The official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported before dawn that schools in the city would be closed as rain was forecast to continue throughout the day.
