The travel from Jazan to Farasan in a luxurious ship is hosted by Royal Saudi Navy, free of cost.This is basically a gift from Saudi King. You can also take your vehicle with you in the ship and that is also free of cost but for that you have to book in advance.

The ideal time to visit the Island is in winter as thousands  of birds come here from cold areas.





The journey is wonderful and exciting. You can have  drinks,whatever you like from ship's canteen.The shining sun  on red sea creates spectacular view.
