NEOM, Maqna Beach, and Ain Musa

• Breakfast, then depart from Tabuk.

• Visit the caves of Shuaib.
  • This is an exploratory tour in an area of archaeological civilization and rock carvings, preserving the relics of a nation that lived before AD. The tombs are carved into the rocks and decorated with ornaments similar to the facades of the Nabataean shrines found in Al-Hijr (Mada'in Saleh). It was an ancient oasis where God sent His Prophet, Shuaib, to his people.
• Visit Maqna Beach.
  • A tour of Maqna Beach, which attracts many lovers of marine activities, allows you to enjoy the beauty of its bays, the colour gradations of its sandy formations of fine and small pebbles, the diversity of its marine environment, and the clarity and depth of its waters, which contain coral gardens. Around them, you will also see marine creatures in their beautiful colours.

• Visit the Catalina Seaplane Wreck of 1960.
  • In the Ras Sheikh Hamid area, the Catalina, an American-made amphibious aircraft, met its end. Its wreckage has remained there for nearly 57 years, raising questions about why this plane was in such a remote place and what happened to its passengers. Why did they come to this area? Some say it arrived secretly, while others say it is a relic of World War II.
