Jabal Aja Protected Area, Nature reserve in northern Saudi Arabia
Jabal Aja Protected Area is a nature reserve in northern Saudi Arabia defined by red granite mountains and elevated terrain. The landscape features multiple elevation zones that create diverse habitats throughout the region.
The reserve was established to protect its natural landscape and wildlife from human pressures. Official designation came as part of broader environmental conservation initiatives in the country.
The Saudi Wildlife Authority manages this reserve, which serves as a research center for studying native plant species and wildlife populations.
The cooler months are the best time to visit since conditions are more favorable for exploring the reserve. Marked trails lead through different areas of the region, allowing visitors to experience the landscape in varied ways.
The region hosts an impressive array of plant species despite being in an arid zone. What makes it noteworthy is that some of the country's rarest large predators can still be found here.
