Saudi Arabia is the only country on the Arabian Peninsula where you can see all of the Arabian endemics—from Philby’s Partridge and Asir Magpie to Arabian Woodpecker and Yemen Serin—plus regional specialties and near-endemics like White-eyed Gull, Arabian Lark, and Arabian Golden Sparrow. Not just deserts, Saudi boasts dramatic mountains, wooded canyons, and productive wetlands. Add warm hospitality and rich culture, and Saudi is the Middle East’s top birding destination.
