Emerging from the blue waters of the Red Sea, west of Al-Lith Governorate, stands Jabal Sirin, a mountain rising approximately 500 meters above sea level. Its distinctive formation has made it a favored destination for marine adventure enthusiasts.
Spanning over 1,000 meters in width, the mountain’s beauty is accentuated by the vibrant coral reefs surrounding it, known for their dazzling colors, stunning beauty, and rich biodiversity, reported the Saudi Press Agency.
The vegetation covering the mountain's slopes and summit complements the crystal-clear turquoise waters, creating breathtaking views, especially at sunrise and sunset.
Jabal Sirin is not only a unique natural environment but also a sought-after tourist attraction. Its remote location from the mainland and proximity to a cluster of islands in the Red Sea provide visitors with an unparalleled experience of relaxation and exploration.
