Hali Wildlife Park
Known for its scenic landscapes and diverse vegetation, Hali Wildlife Park is close to the Wadi Hali Dam in Al-Qunfudhah, a governorate of Makkah region in western Saudi Arabia. The park is now the target for a massive tree planting program of the National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification, covering up to 6 million square meters of land irrigated using water from nearby dams. A 6-kilometer pipeline will be built to channel water from Wadi Hali Dam to the park.
