The Al Hefaiyah Mountain Conservation Center is home to 30 different species of mountain animals. So, go ahead and take the 1.5 kilometer-long trail that leads you to the animal observation decks. You can either walk along the route or take golf carts available at the seventh watching spot. Alternatively, you can get into the indoor glassed walkways for unrestricted views.
Critically endangered Arabian leopard, Arabian Wolve, Arabian Tahr, and caracal, are some of the wildlife you can hope to spot. Try and catch an experience of the nocturnal wildlife exhibit that showcases the nighttime activities of mountain creatures.
What’s more, the inscriptions around the perimeter of the site imaginatively display one of the oldest known art paintings of the region's wildlife.
