Critics often question whether luxury tourism in fragile ecosystems can truly be sustainable. Saudi Arabia has responded by adopting stringent environmental standards for glamping projects, including requirements for renewable energy use, waste management systems, and low-impact construction techniques. Many camps rely on modular, movable units that can be assembled and disassembled without damaging the landscape. Water conservation is also prioritized, with technologies such as desalination, recycling, and efficient irrigation systems ensuring minimal strain on natural resources. These measures not only align with global sustainability standards but also signal to international audiences that Saudi Arabia is serious about protecting its natural heritage.
