Much of Al-Jawf's territory is dedicated to olive and date farming, with the Wadi Sarhan area being particularly renowned for its fertile farmlands.
As you travel towards the Al Nafud Desert, the lush greenery gradually gives way to the vast sands. This area offers a range of activities, including camping, watching the sunrise, and engaging in desert sports like sand surfing, dune bashing, camel riding, and jeep racing.
Among the notable historic sites in Al-Jawf are Za'abal Castle, the Al-Dhel’ quarter of Sakakah, and the ancient ruins of Dumat al-Jandal. The mysterious rocks of Al-Rajajil, whose origins remain unknown, also attract interest.
For those interested in wildlife, the Hurrat Al Hurrah Reserve is a prime destination. Located along the migratory path of various bird species, it is a haven for bird watchers.
