Al-Reeth, May 01, 2025, SPA -- Jazan stands out as a premier tourist destination in the Kingdom, renowned for its rich cultural heritage and ancient rock formations, many still undiscovered. Shaped solely by natural forces, these formations offer a unique allure for those seeking untouched beauty.
   Notably, Wadi Lajab rock in Al-Reeth Governorate strikingly resembles a human head, often compared to the Sphinx. Its intricate details, sculpted by centuries of erosion, create captivating shapes visible from afar.
   Perched atop the highest peak overlooking Wadi Lajab, approximately 200 meters above the valley floor, the rock commands a prominent view. Rainfall enhances its beauty as water flows from two crevices in the rock face, resembling falling tears. Reaching this landmark involves an arduous but rewarding trek, attracting hikers and adventurers to the valley's breathtaking landscapes.
   The rock is a symbol of the region's heritage and natural beauty, boosting local tourism and highlighting the need to preserve such natural wonders.
