Reptile Land
Located in Jeddah, Reptile Land is a Saudi Arabia's first reptile zoo that Briton Kane Tison and Saudi national Faisal Malaikah created to show to the public that the cold-blooded creatures are "not the fearsome monsters that a lot of people think they are." The zoo is also home to big lizards and tortoises, which are kept outdoors in natural surroundings, including ponds and edible plants. All animals in the zoo are used to human interaction and pose no threat to visitors, according to Kane Tison.
Farasan Islands
Farasan, an archipelago off the southwestern coast of Saudi Arabia, is feted for its unique biodiversity. It is home to more than 230 species of fish, a variety of coral reefs, and several endangered marine animals, including dugongs.
