Walk with the animals
Saudi boasts a diverse wildlife population. Plus, more than 85,000 square kilometers of land is protected for wildlife conservation, so your chances of spotting a memorable species are high. Asir National Park and the surrounding mountains are among the top places to see animals in their habitats. But they aren’t the only places. Exquisite wildlife exists in every corner of Saudi — from wild cats and wolves to humble hedgehogs. Below are two animals you may spot this winter season.
What to Do
See baboons
During the wet season, many hamadryas baboons move in packs to mountainous areas, such as the Asir mountain region near Taif and Abha. Mature male baboons are easily recognizable by their long silver hair and pink faces. These creatures are highly intelligent and were once considered sacred.
Admire an oryx
The Arabian oryx has horns up to 68 centimeters long and a bright white coat. Though they were once on the verge of extinction, Saudi has undertaken conservation efforts to save this mammal, which has been reintroduced into the wild in areas like the Farasan Islands, just a ferry ride from Jazan.
