11/02/2026. AlUla, Medina, Saudi Arabia. The Prince of Wales during a visit to AlUla, a 7,000-year-old archaeological area in Saudi’s Medina region. The Prince visited the Sharaan Nature Reserve, where he will met Bassim Al Balawi, Lead Ranger and heard about their work to protect and conserve wildlife and the natural world. His Royal Highness stopped at the Alqaliba Mountain Viewpoint where he met a group of Saudi Rangers who shared an overview of the conservation efforts in Sharaan and their commitment to the local community. The Prince heard about the land restoration programme from the RCU’s Habitat and Restoration team and was invited to plant an acacia tree alongside Prince Badr, Minister of Culture. He then visited the ‘Dancing Rocks’ formation where he learned more about the ongoing conservation initiatives aimed at protecting and reintroducing native species, most notably the critically endangered Arabian Leopard.
