A Kuwaiti photographer and environmentalist just gave us a rare glimpse of a disappearing gem off the coast of Al-Zour — and it’s straight out of a fairytale. Meet Al-Hala Island, the elusive sandbar that plays hide-and-seek with the tides.

Al-Hala Island isn’t your typical beach destination. This little patch of paradise only appears when the tide is low, and then poof! — it’s completely swallowed by the sea as the water rises. If you blink, you might miss it.
The area isn’t just beautiful — it’s biologically rich. We’re talking green turtles, coral reefs, and a whole crew of seabirds that either call it home or drop by on their way elsewhere. It’s a haven for marine life, and a gentle reminder of how wild and alive Kuwait’s coast really is.
Dr. Abdullah Al-Zaidan, the photographer behind the lens, didn’t just want to wow us. He’s calling on all nature lovers and explorers to tread carefully. His message? Let’s enjoy the beauty of Al-Hala Island — but let’s also protect it.
Whether you’re into photography, nature, or just discovering new places, this hidden treasure is a must-know. Just make sure you catch it before the tide does.
