brown giant dust storm engulfed the Jizan beach area late Monday afternoon, forcing beachgoers and fishermen to leave the area. It was one of the worst dust storms in a city that usually wakes up to brilliant blue skies. The storm swept through the city from its southern part and hung over the area until the early hours of Tuesday. Traffic at the Jizan seaport was halted as a result. - SG photo by Mohammad Mazhar Siddiqi __
