Rabigh Dam, Gravity dam in Mecca Region, Saudi Arabia

The Rabigh Dam extends 380 meters in length and reaches a height of 80.5 meters, forming a substantial barrier across Wadi Rabigh.

The dam began operations in 2009 as part of Saudi Arabia's water management infrastructure development to address regional agricultural needs.

The dam represents a central element in the agricultural traditions of local farmers who depend on its water releases for crop irrigation.

The reservoir maintains a storage capacity of 220,250,000 cubic meters, releasing water periodically to support farming activities in surrounding areas.

The Ministry of Environment controls water discharge through scheduled gate openings, releasing up to 5.9 million cubic meters during four-day periods.
