Harkos Islands: One of the most important Saudi islands is “Harkos”, as it is a natural home for different kinds of birds and turtles residing in the Arabian Gulf. The farthest island of the Kingdom is Alarabiya located within the Arabian Gulf, as it located 50 marine miles away from the Saudi coasts.
The three most important Saudi islands in the south of the Arabian Gulf can be found near the entrance of Khor al-Adid at the north of Ras Abu Qamis, and they are Hawisat, Huthba, and Sayad. Saudi islands in the Arab Gulf are mostly on a level surface with a maximum height of just 13m.
Due to the environment of the Saudi islands, climatic conditions and the lack of their economic resources, they are not populated except for the islands of Farasan Al-Kabeer, Sujaid, and Qmmah; all of which are Red Sea islands of the Farasan Archipelago. Furthermore, the islands of Taroot, Abu Ali and Qunna in the Arab Gulf have some villages, population, and business or economic centers.
