Description
Saudi Arabia’s First UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Recognized as the Kingdom’s first natural reserve under UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Program, the Farasan Islands embody a rare harmony of sea and land. Turquoise waters embrace over 200 islands, where vibrant coral reefs, mangroves, and pristine shores meet rolling hills that shelter the unique Farasan Idmi Gazelle. This sanctuary overflows with life — from playful dolphins and ancient sea turtles to migratory birds and rare flora — making it a true paradise for divers, explorers, and nature enthusiasts. Alongside its natural splendor, Farasan’s cultural heritage, with its historic villages and ancient ruins, tells stories that span centuries.
