A Saudi Arabian man who was missing for three days has been found in the middle of a desert in Riyadh province while he was in the “sujood” or prostration praying position, prompting hundreds of social media users to pray for him online.

The man’s family filed a missing person report with the Wadi Al Dawasir police after losing contact with him. The rescue teams launched a wide-scale search to find Al Ajaleen, who was driving a pickup truck

The Ghawth search teams then intensified the search for Al Ajalin using four-wheel drive vehicles and gliders to expand the scope in the rough areas and sand dunes. Then, his body was found a few metres away from his vehicle.

Videos of a rescue team finding the man and his car – which was stocked with sticks which may indicate that he was gathering wood for his family – went viral on social media platforms.

 

Dhuwaihi Hamoud al-Ajaleen had gone missing from his home on Thursday in Riyadh’s Wadi al-Dawasir, according to local media reports.

The 40-year-old was found three days later in the middle of the desert after police launched an intensive search for him.

Rescue teams drove through the desert before finding al-Ajaleen a few meters away from his car, local media said.
