RIYADH: Towering golden sand dunes stretching to the horizon, shifting patterns sculpted by the wind and pockets of resilient desert vegetation have turned Khab Saha in Saudi Arabia’s Northern Borders Region into one of the Kingdom’s emerging ecotourism destinations, according to a report by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
Located around 120 kilometers southwest of Rafha Governorate, Khab Saha is renowned for its sweeping desert landscapes, where chains of towering dunes create dramatic panoramas that attract photographers, hikers, off-road enthusiasts and visitors seeking to experience the Kingdom’s natural beauty.
The dunes constantly transform throughout the day as changing sunlight casts varying shades of gold across the landscape, while desert winds carve delicate ridges and flowing contours into the sand, creating an ever-changing natural canvas.
Scattered among the dunes are hardy native plants that have adapted to the region’s harsh climate. Beyond adding splashes of green to the vast desert, the vegetation helps stabilize the sand, limits desert encroachment and provides habitat for native wildlife, supporting the ecological balance of the area.
