National parks across Makkah Region are emerging as environmental and development assets, pairing scenery and rich vegetation with opportunities for ecotourism and sustainable investment that also improve quality of life.

The National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification manages the parks, protecting natural resources, rehabilitating sites, upgrading infrastructure and building partnerships with the private sector and local communities.

Saiysad National Park in Taif has received upgraded facilities, tree planting and wildlife releases to boost biodiversity. Jabal Al-Qamar National Park in Khulais Governorate covers more than 18 million square meters of rock formations and varied plant life. Wadi Qudaid Park hosts a research station studying plants, soil and water, linking rehabilitation with science, while about 90,000 trees have been planted in each of Jumum Eco-Park and Hali Wildlife Park in Al-Qunfudhah Governorate.

The parks draw investment in ecotourism and leisure, create economic opportunities and support the goals of the Saudi Green Initiative and Saudi Vision 2030.
