A massive sea of orange-red crescent dunes stretching hundreds of kilometers to the north.

The dramatic granite peaks and valleys surrounding the city of Ha'il rising from the desert floor.
Al-Ula Sandstone
Spectacular golden rock formations and deep canyons typical of the historic Al-Ula and Hegra region.
Tabuk Escarpment
The jagged cliffs and plateaus that characterize the approach into Tabuk airport.
