- Do not feed or approach animals. Keep to the marked route — the ground either side is habitat, and in the highlands it is also where the drops are.

Autumn and spring are the passage seasons for migrating birds; managed reserves keep fixed hours and several need a permit arranged beforehand. The north is the cold end of the country. Winter nights drop below anything else on this site and the high ground occasionally sees snow, so a winter trip here needs different clothes from a winter trip to Jeddah.
