Al Wajh

Al Wajh is a small coastal city located in the Tabuk Province of northwestern Saudi Arabia, on the coast of the Red Sea. It is known for its historical significance and as a gateway to the ancient Nabatean city of AlUla. Al Wajh's old town, with its traditional architecture, reflects the city's rich history as a trading port. The city is currently experiencing development as part of the Saudi Vision 2030, with an emphasis on tourism and enhancing the region's natural beauty. Al Wajh is characterized by its tranquil atmosphere, clear blue waters, and pristine beaches, which are becoming increasingly popular among tourists seeking a serene getaway. The city's economy is also supported by fishing and small-scale agriculture. With the development of the Red Sea Project, a luxury tourism initiative, Al Wajh is poised to become a significant tourist destination in the Kingdom, offering a mix of cultural heritage and modern leisure activities. Despite its small size, Al Wajh plays a crucial role in the region's development and is an example of Saudi Arabia's efforts to diversify its economy beyond oil.
