  ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the annual rainfall for the Tabuk region obtained from observed datasets for the period 1978-2013. The objective of this study was to determine Tabuk catchment climate characteristics in terms of precipitation. The annual average precipitation in the Tabuk region is 33.5 mm which is below the global average precipitation receiving in arid regions set as less than 250 mm. There is a drop in the annual rainfall from (25 - 30) mm to (5 - 10) mm (1978-2004). The lowest annual rainfall (0 - 6.0 mm) occurred in the year 2004, which is the driest year in a 35-year period.
