Northern Borders Region is distinguished by its captivating natural landscapes, particularly its life-filled valleys, which serve as vital ecological arteries that sustain biodiversity, support vegetation cover, and promote ecotourism in the heart of the desert.
Notable valleys in the region such as Wadi Arar, Wadi Badna, and Wadi Mira serve as significant natural landmarks. Seasonal rainwater flows through these valleys, enriching plant diversity and attracting many visitors eager to explore and enjoy outdoor picnics.
This season, the valleys have experienced a substantial increase in torrents, revitalizing wildlife and allowing vast areas of wild plants, including Artemisia, Achillea, and lavender, to thrive.
This resurgence has enhanced the region's natural beauty, creating an ideal environment for nature enthusiasts and campers.
These valleys provide a sanctuary for migratory birds and various wildlife, highlighting their essential role in preserving biodiversity.
They are also emerging as promising ecotourism destinations, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030's goals to leverage natural resources and promote environmental sustainability.
Local authorities in Northern Borders Region are actively implementing comprehensive environmental plans to rehabilitate the valleys and protect their ecosystems.
This initiative ensures the sustainability of natural resources while enhancing the region’s appeal as an ecotourism destination.
