Wadi Lajab

Saudi Arabia

The Jazan Province, also known as the Jazan Region (Arabic: , romanized: Minṭaqatu Jāzān), is the second smallest province of Saudi Arabia after al-Bāḥa. It stretches approximately 300 km (190 mi) along the southern coast of the Red Sea, just north of the border with Yemen. Covering an area of 13,457 km2, it had a population of 1,404,997 according to the 2022 census. The Province has the highest population density in the Kingdom. The province includes over 200 islands in the Red Sea. One of the major developments in the province is the Jazan City for Primary and Downstream Industries, a large-scale project intended to contribute to the province’s economic development. The Farasān Islands, Saudi Arabia’s first conservation-protected area, are home to migratory birds from Europe during the winter.
