The Jubail Marine Wildlife Protected Area has become a beacon of ecological significance with recent sightings of Bryde’s whales, including mothers and calves, as they migrate through the Arabian Gulf

These gentle giants are among the rarest whale species, and their presence highlights the sanctuary’s crucial role in providing safe passage and nurturing grounds for marine life.
