King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve

King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve is one of the royal reserves in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is located between Riyadh Province and Eastern Province, approximately 180 km away from Riyadh. In 2018, a royal decree was issued to convert al-Tanhat and al-Khafs reserves, along with their surrounding areas, into a royal reserve under the name of King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve. The reserve extends over an area of about 15,700 km², which is equivalent to approximately 0.8 percent of the Kingdom's total area.

King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve is managed by the Council of Royal Reserves, headed by HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz al Saud, the Crown Prince and Chairman of the Council of Ministers. The Reserve has a board of directors headed by Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz, Minister of Interior.

After including Rawdat al-Tanhat in the reserve, King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve has become a popular tourist destination, attracting tourists from within the Kingdom and various nationalities. It was an official park for the founding King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman al Saud and his successors. It has also been mentioned in many old and contemporary Arabic poems.

The Reserve is known for its fertile land and diverse plant cover. Several valleys flow into it, including the largest one, Wadi al-Shuqi, Wadi al-Tayri and Wadi al-Atk. It is abundant with acacia and sidr trees, and flowers such as daisies, hawthorns, and lavender are widespread in the area.
