The volcanic crater is one of the famous geological landscapes in Saudi Arabia. Gradual subsidence and water erosion of this unique crater formed a large deep crater and a broad expanse of white salt deposits. Visitors can explore the surroundings of the crater on foot and enjoy these fantastic and magnificent views. From here, the floating clouds and verdant vegetation are in stark contrast to the surrounding desert. In addition, there are also wild camping areas in the area around the crater, allowing tourists to spend the night in nature and experience the uniqueness of desert life.
