Hikers will soon be able to explore the King Salman bin Abdulaziz Royal Reserve on 10 internationally certified trails covering about 70 kilometers, the reserve's development authority has announced. The routes are spread across many parts of the reserve and showcase its natural and geographic variety.
In Tabuk, the seven-kilometer Wadi Al-Dahikiyah trails pass through varied plants and terrain suited to relaxed walking, the five-kilometer Al-Qalibah trail crosses changing ground and high landscapes, and the 3.8-kilometer Jabal Dhab trail leads through caves and rock formations.
The longest route, the 15-kilometer Wadi Fajr trail, offers sweeping views and memorable sunrises.
In Northern Borders Region, the 2.5-kilometer Jabal Turaif trail offers wide panoramas, while in Al-Jouf the 5.8-kilometer Jabal Al-Hisan trail combines ancient inscriptions with natural scenery.
The authority said the project supports sustainable ecotourism and lets communities discover the reserve's natural, heritage and cultural assets to the highest international accreditation standards.
