Rawdat Khuraim, Nature reserve in Riyadh Region, Saudi Arabia.

The protected area spans 11,300 square kilometers of land, featuring large basins designed for rainwater storage and diverse desert vegetation northeast of Riyadh.

The reserve has been a traditional meeting point for travelers and nomads seeking water sources and shelter along their journeys through the Saudi Arabian desert.

The name derives from Arabic terminology, where Rawdat refers to a green pasture, reflecting the local understanding of this fertile land within arid surroundings.

Located 100 kilometers from Riyadh city center, the reserve connects to major roads and provides designated areas for visitors to observe native wildlife.

Three significant valleys - Shuaib Al-Toki, Wadi Khoy, and Thilan - converge in this reserve, creating natural pathways for local wildlife movement.
