Kuwait: Al-Halah Island, located in the Al-Zour area of southern Kuwait, is a rare and stunning natural phenomenon that captivates nature enthusiasts and eco-tourists alike. Documented by Kuwaiti photographer and environmentalist Dr. Abdullah Al-Zaidan, the island is a temporary sandbar that appears only during low tide and vanishes completely with the high tide.
In a statement to KUNA, Dr. Al-Zaidan explained that the island’s transient nature and serene surroundings attract visitors seeking peace and natural beauty. Al-Halah has quickly become a favored destination for those looking to enjoy the clear waters of the Gulf in a setting free from pollution and urban development.
The island’s surrounding Al-Zour coastline is rich in marine biodiversity, thanks to limited human activity in the region. It is a vital nesting ground for endangered green turtles and a haven for coral reefs and a variety of marine species. The area also serves as a natural resting point for both migratory and resident seabirds, making it essential for the coastal ecosystem.
Dr. Al-Zaidan emphasized the importance of preserving such fragile environments and promoting sustainable tourism. He encouraged responsible visitation practices that help protect the delicate marine ecosystem and ensure its survival for future generations.
