ThePlace: Duqm beach, a popular tourist destinations in Tabuk

  • Umluj’s other beaches — Al-Hurra, Al-Nasbah, Al-Shabaan and Al-Hassi — are also drawing crowds, especially visitors from outside of the governorate

UMLUJ: The beaches of Umluj governorate in Tabuk region in the northwest of Saudi Arabia are proving a popular destination for residents and visitors this summer, confirming Umluj as one of the Kingdom’s main tourist spots.

Duqm beach is one of the most popular in the area, thanks not only to its tourist services, but also to its unique seafront landscape — a mix of sandy hills and coral reefs.

Umluj’s other beaches — Al-Hurra, Al-Nasbah, Al-Shabaan and Al-Hassi — are also drawing crowds, especially visitors from outside of the governorate, according to local officials, who credit the long school holidays for the rise in tourist numbers over the summer months.

RIYADH: An initiative to plant 10,000 arta trees in the Al-Dahna sands has been launched by the King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority, in partnership with the Green Dahna Association.

The project involves 300 volunteers from government agencies and educational institutions with the aim of rehabilitating local ecosystems and promoting environmental stewardship.

Chosen for its high adaptability to harsh desert climates and its effectiveness in soil stabilization, the arta tree is a strategic investment in biodiversity and desertification control.

It also ensures the sustainability of natural resources for future generations through research and community engagement.
