Laheq Island
Located off Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast, Laheq is being developed with a focus on residences rather than tourism, bringing resort-style living and homeownership to Saudi Arabia. Laheq is part of an archipelago surrounded by one of the world’s largest barrier reefs that are home to over 2,000 rare and unique marine species.
Rub Al-Khali
Also known as The Empty Quarter, Rub Al-Khali is one of the world’s largest deserts, covering nearly 650,000 sq. km, mostly in Saudi Arabia, with dunes reaching 250 meters. A recent study has revealed that Rub Al-Khali was once much more hospitable, with a big lake emerging during the “Green Arabia” period, from 11,000 to 5,500 years ago. About 6,000 years ago, a sharp decline in rainfall resulted in arid conditions that forced nomadic populations to migrate to more hospitable areas.
