The guide was updated:
Despite being the smallest province in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jizan boasts huge geographic diversity and beauty, featuring desert expanses, fertile plains, forests and the green Faifa Mountains with their captivating rock formations and enticing hot springs. It is one of the country's most important agricultural areas, producing everything from coffee and wheat to an enormous variety of delicious tropical fruits.
The province also has over a hundred small islands just a short distance from the coast, including the much beloved Farasan Island, which houses a natural reserve and beautiful wildlife, including seabirds and the Farasan Island gazelle. Additionally, the city of Jizan is a very important port in the Red Sea and boasts a wonderful harbour, where traditional wooden fishing boats called chows can be admired.
