  ABSTRACT: The Covid-19 pandemic compelled many countries to implement the stay-at-home policy, which insisted many employees and workers in variety of industries to work from home. This global crisis also prompted universities, colleges, and schools to conduct their teaching activities online via the Internet. Although online education is favourable for students especially in the era of pandemic, a full mode of online teaching could be associated with many challenges. Particularly, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), most education sectors were closed down according to government order. The Ministry of Education (MOE) of the KSA began providing online education services in public and private educational institutions. Thus, this paper aims to determine how Covid-19 impacted higher education in the KSA by highlighting the challenges faced by this sector and identifying the best strategies to address these challenges. In this study, the design science approach was applied. The results revealed that the KSA faced several challenges and issues during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the suggested solution is better in dealing with these challenges.
