To the north of Saudi Arabia, on the shores of the Red Sea, is a small town with a reputation for all things beautiful. Umluj, locally dubbed as the Maldives of the Kingdom, sits in Saudi Arabia’s Tabuk province and it’s easy to see why.
1.
It is famous for its turquoise waters, fine sand, beautiful coral reefs, striking surrounding nature, and rich biodiversity.
2.
Umluj is said to stretch some 150 kilometers north of Yanbu, a major Red Sea port in the Kingdom’s Medina Province.
3.
The town itself attracts guests with its excellent year-round weather, offering lots of sunshine, with very little rain and moderate dry heat during certain periods. Visitors enjoy evenings that are even more appealing, often cool and refreshing.
4.
Umluj is still relatively unknown, so its nature is still intact, clean, and exceptional!
5.
Near the coastal stretch of Umluj are several islands boasting pristine beaches, tropical vegetation, and crystal blue waters.
6.
Umluj is home to hundreds of incredible coral species, over three times more than the amount found in Caribbean reefs.

Surrounding Umluj are dormant volcanoes such as Harrat Lunayyir, Jabal Qidr, and Jabal Baydaa- so get the adventure going!

Its precious reefs are home to a diversity of marine life, from all kinds of fish and turtles.
