Sarawat Mountains
Rugged, dark mountain peaks in western Saudi Arabia that provide a stark contrast to the desert sands.
Red Sea Reefs
Vibrant coral reef formations and turquoise shallows visible along the Saudi and Sudanese coastlines.

The Confluence
The legendary 'Al Mogran' where the Blue and White Niles meet to form the main Nile River.
