JAZAN: Kayaking has become a key attraction at the Al-Hareed Festival in the Farasan Islands, offering a mix of adventure and nature.
The activity takes place at Mangrove Beach, known for its calm waters and dense mangrove and tamarisk forests.
These natural waterways provide an ideal setting for exploration through a serene marine landscape, according to a Saudi Press Agency report.
The site was developed through local investment to transform the beach into a safe, world-class tourist destination.
Supervised by the Ministry of Sport and the Saudi Canoe and Kayak Federation, it meets high safety standards, with certified lifeguards present.
The 2,400-meter round-trip route typically takes 45 to 60 minutes to complete, the SPA stated.
Kayaks are available in single and double-seat options, allowing visitors to experience the environment quietly and up close.
This eco-friendly activity highlights the Farasan Islands as a growing hub for sustainable marine tourism in the Red Sea.
