RIYADH: Al-Baha’s Nawan Dunes, a winter destination promising adventure and nature, is offering visitors a distinctive tourism experience that blends tranquility with beauty.
The site, in Al-Makhwah Governorate, is among the most prominent natural attractions in the Al-Baha region and is distinguished by unique sand formations that stretch across vast areas, offering visitors a distinctive tourism experience.
The dunes are witnessing a growing influx of visitors, outdoor enthusiasts, and photography lovers, due to the region’s mild winter weather, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The rolling golden sands provide an ideal destination for camping enthusiasts, desert adventures, and various outdoor recreational activities, particularly during twilight and sunset when the landscape takes on a striking aesthetic appeal.
The Nawan Dunes is now a breathtaking canvas of natural beauty. Recent rainfall has allowed wild plants to flourish spectacularly and this creates a stunning spectacle for all nature lovers.
As part of efforts to diversify tourism experiences, the Nawan Dunes has also hosted paragliding, attracting adventure seekers and aerial sports enthusiasts.
This has offered visitors a unique opportunity to view the desert landscape from the air and enjoy panoramic views of the dunes and surrounding nature, all within a well-organized framework that prioritizes safety and enhances the site’s appeal.
These events and initiatives form part of Al-Baha's winter program, which aims to diversify tourism options, invest in natural assets, and strengthen the area’s position as an attractive winter tourism destination in the Kingdom.
Fahd Muftah Al-Zahrani, the director general at the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture in Al-Baha, said that two contracts had been signed to further ecotourism in the region.
