Tabuk
The coastline and beaches of the Tabuk region, located in the northwest of the Kingdom, span a distance of 700 km and are home to 100 islands. They begin in the Haql governorate in the north, continue through the two governorates of Dhuba and Al-Wajh, and end at the regional boundary of the Umluj governorate, located south of the city of Tabuk.
Pilgrims from Egypt and Jordan have long used Tabuk as a resting place. Souq Twaheen, known for selling patterned rugs and goat-hair tent covers, is a famous example of how its rich culture may be felt. The setting of the story of the prophet Moses, who spent ten years of his life east of the city, is one of Tabuk's most popular attractions for tourists to explore. Tabuk's picturesque coastal towns, such as Haql and Sharma, which mark the beginning of the Saudi Coast, have crystal-clear waters and immaculate beaches. There are still other areas to discover, such as the desert's sculpted tombs at Maghaer Shuaib or the Moses Springs near Maqna, where natural springs trickle beneath date palms.
