The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through its vastness, enjoys a diversity of good natural scenery ranging from mountains covered by a variety of flora including trees and wide plateaux with attractive plants in spring through to beautiful green oases in the middle of the desert, distinguished by their wild fauna, and the rich coastal regions of the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf.

The Government of Saudi Arabia has recognized the importance of protecting these natural resources which are for the enjoyment of present and future generations. With this in mind, it has established parks, like the National Park of Asir on the large mountainous and hilly landscape of Asir around the city of Abha. There are also studies and designs in preparation for the establishment of modern parks in Riyadh, Al-Hasa, Al-Baha and elsewhere.
