Al Jouf
The Food Basket of Saudi
Bordering Jordan, Al Jouf is Saudi Arabia’s largest agricultural base, famous for its olive farms, and is rich with historical and cultural assets. Located north of the Kingdom, its archeology dates back millennia and is completed by its seasonal and harvest festivals.
Al Jouf is home to some of the most significant architectural masterpieces including the Omar Bin Khattab Mosque, one of the oldest mosques in existence and Rajajjil Stones, an ancient site carved over 6,000 years ago, with over 50 burials and 10 tombs. It is also well-situated in close proximity to giga projects like NEOM and the popular UNESCO World Heritage Site (Al Ula).
It has immense potential in the eco-tourism sector, with the King Salman Royal Nature Reserve serving as an excellent base for eco-tourism. Dumat Al Jandal Lake offers an ideal spot for water sports activities as well as wellness retreats, while its sulfur- rich area can be used for healing properties.
