King Khalid Royal Reserve (Arabic: محمية الملك خالد الملكية), formerly as al-Thumamah Wildlife Park (Arabic: متنزه الثمامة البري) and better known as al-Thumamah Park, is a nature reserve and a popular outdoor tourist attraction in the al-Thumamah region of northeastern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.[1] It was a private farm owned by King Khalid and was partially turned into a public park after its nationalization by the Saudi government under King Fahd in 1983 following the former's death in 1982.[2][3][4] It was renamed as the King Khalid Royal Reserve in October 2019 after its recognition as a protected area through a royal decree by King Salman.[5]
