Pods of Dolphins Transform Al-Lith Islands into Marine Tourism Attraction
Over the past several days, the islands of Al-Lith Governorate have been transformed into a striking natural spectacle, as successive pods of dolphins have appeared near the beaches and waterways. These scenes have enriched the ecotourism experience and reinforced the governorate's growing reputation as a promising marine destination on the coastal tourism map.
The dolphins’ appearance coincided with increased activity among visitors, sea enthusiasts, and photographers. Gracefully gliding through the water, the dolphins leapt and spun in perfect harmony, as though welcoming onlookers in a language of pure wonder. These memorable moments were quickly captured and widely shared, showcasing the beauty of the marine environment and the pristine waters of the Red Sea south of Makkah.
This phenomenon reflects positive signs of a healthy marine ecosystem around Al-Lith islands and highlights the success of ongoing efforts to protect wildlife and promote environmental sustainability. It also aligns with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which seeks to develop ecotourism and invest in natural resources while preserving ecological balance.
Experts note that the recurrence of such scenes opens new opportunities for responsible tourism, enhances the region’s indirect economic value, and supports activities such as marine excursions, environmental exploration, and nature photography, offering a development model that balances enjoyment with conservation.
