Although there are many revelations in the cables, covering Riyadh's financing of media operations, to an Egyptian plot to assassinate the South Sudanese president, many of the region's Twitterati criticised the media for being slow to cover the news.
Others, meanwhile, thought that such criticism was a little overblown.
When the media widely covered the cables on Monday, Twitterers were still unimpressed.
There were also some concerns over the privacy of those mentioned in the documents.
Many, meanwhile, felt that everyone was getting over-excited about "revelations" that were already well-known.
Some felt that the cables were politicised, and felt that WikiLeaks should also target Iran, Saudi Arabia's arch-rival in the region.
There were fine examples of citizen journalism, with many of the disclosures in the cables found by social media users before being reported by journalists.
Finally, some users thought that WikiLeaks had missed a trick.
