The jewels in Jazan’s crown are the idyllic Farasan Islands, which are a source of endless adventures. Only three of the 84 islands are permanently inhabited, with the remainder largely a protected marine sanctuary. This is a land of white-sand beaches, lush mangroves, low inland cliffs and wide blue skies. It’s also home to an array of birds and wildlife, including the idmi gazelle, pink-backed pelican and flocks of flamingos. In winter, migratory birds from Europe also make the islands their home. Explore the islands on foot or by snorkeling in the shallows, and then end the day with an evening campfire under a serene and starlit sky.
