There is. Makkah is just the hottest city in KSA and surrounded by mountains which gives it a warmer climate than average in Hijaz due to the effects of the mountains and it's also located far enough away from the beautiful Red Sea (80 km) for that not to have an effect climate wise. Mainly due to the sheltering effect of the mountains.
That's how the terrain looks likes a few km outside of Makkah.

A tour of parts of Makkah:
As anyone can see by watching that video of Makkah then there are plenty of palm trees and trees. It's just a hugely misleading photo that you have found in order to troll.
And this is how it looks a bit further away from Makkah.
Hijaz is one of the most beautiful places in the ME and world. It has everything. A nearly 1500 km long beautiful tropical coastline alongside the Red Sea which has the second biggest coral reef after the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, several beautiful and tall mountain ranges, ancient cities, artifacts, modern cities, volcanic areas, beautiful lowlands and deserts, highlands, tropical areas, forests, beautiful tropical beaches and hundreds of islands outside of the coast. Well outside of Makkah and Madinah obviously.
Soon to be also the highest skyscraper and a few of the biggest and most modern industrial cities.
Speaking about falcons then Hijaz also has one of the best areas in the ME for falconry.
Did I mention the phenomenal weather all year around? When it gets too hot during the summer you just go and visit the many big mountain cities or hundreds of mountain villages located at over 2000 meters altitude to cool off or you take a trip to the Red Sea to do some diving.
Imagine if certain laws were changed which is inevitable.
It's a blessed and ancient land and the land of Prophet Muhammad (saws) and all the Prophets before him and we are very proud to inhabit it as we have done for thousands of years.
So keep spreading nonsense for all we care.
Stick to your little flat swamp of a country and don't troll here.

I think that it is time to deal with this serial troll.
