Farasan Islands Travel Guide 2026: Saudi Arabia's Hidden Paradise

The Road Less Travelled

The Farasan Islands sit in the southern Red Sea, accessible by ferry from Jizan. This UNESCO biosphere reserve is home to pristine coral reefs, dolphins, endemic Farasan gazelles, and zero crowds.

Snorkelling and Marine Life

The Farasan snorkelling safari is a full-day adventure combining reef snorkelling, dolphin-watching, and a fresh seafood lunch. The coral rivals anything in the Maldives.

Getting There

Fly to Jizan, then take the free government ferry (90 minutes). Most tour operators include logistics.
