A Sanctuary of Life in AlUla
North of AlUla, the 1,500‑square‑kilometre Sharaan Nature Reserve stands as one of Saudi Arabia’s most remarkable protected ecosystems. Named one of TIME Magazine’s World’s Greatest Places 2024, it showcases the impact of dedicated restoration efforts. Endangered species such as Arabian wolves, gazelles, and red foxes are returning to healthy numbers, with hopes to one day reintroduce the Arabian Leopard.
