Located within the Red Sea region of Saudi Arabia, Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, offers an island setting where the surrounding marine environment and naturally dark skies create a distinctive nighttime experience. The resort is situated among secluded islands that provide open views of the horizon and an environment where visitors can experience the transition from day to night with minimal disturbance from artificial lighting.

Guests staying at Nujuma have the opportunity to experience the Red Sea after sunset through guided stargazing activities and educational experiences that highlight the importance of natural darkness. Whether observing constellations above the islands or learning how responsible lighting contributes to the protection of biodiversity and marine ecosystems, visitors are invited to experience the night from a new perspective while appreciating one of the region’s valuable natural resources.

Nujuma is part of The Red Sea, a regenerative tourism destination on the northwest coast of Saudi Arabia.
