Be it weekends or holidays, whenever a free moment presents itself, locals and tourists alike flock to the beaches in Saudi Arabia to escape city life. In fact, the Kingdom is home to many great beaches in the region, not to mention the great views of the Red Sea, several diving destinations, and designated fishing spots.
One of the most sough-after locations is Sharm Zaem, a popular beach located in the Kingdom's Al-Wajh Governorate. Aside from lapping waves and sandy shores, what perhaps makes it truly stand out are the areas that surround Sharm Zaem. The beach is located next to desert landscapes and cliffs, a vast contrast to what visitors may find at the beach itself.
