Distribution of National Parks in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

This is feature dataset of the spatial distribution of national parks across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It provides a visual representation of the boundaries and locations of designated protected areas under national park status, distributed throughout the 13 administrative regions. The national park boundaries were provided by the General Department of National Parks (GDNP) at the National Center for Vegetation Cover (NCVC) to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), based on the most recent dataset updated in April 2025. The map supports environmental planning, conservation, and biodiversity monitoring efforts and was developed using GIS techniques to ensure accurate and informative spatial representation.
