Wadi Turabah Nature Reserve is a protected natural area adjacent to Jabal Ibrahim in southwestern Saudi Arabia. The reserve is characterized by its mountainous nature and its rocky slopes rich in vegetation, where Juniper trees are spread in the high areas, Ficus and Ziziphus trees near the valleys, while Acacia forests are found in the lower places.
