Revered for its majesty and impressive for its power, the Arabian leopard is the very image of perfection and the most alluring animal to roam the Arabian deserts.

A tribute to a magnificent creature: the Arabian leopard (Panthera pardus nimr). This subspecies exhibits unique characteristics, the result of thousands of years of evolution, making it perfectly adapted to the deserts and mountains of Arabia.

An essay by wildlife conservationist Andrew Spalton traces the animal’s epic journey from Africa to Arabia over half a million years, shedding light on its history and current status as a critically endangered species. Images of the Arabian leopard, a symbol of strength, freedom, and fearlessness, have been found over the centuries in ancient rock art, mosaics, and paintings, cementing its position as a revered and respected animal in Saudi Arabia and around the world.

The Al-Ula Royal Commission has focused on wildlife conservation to protect this subspecies by establishing the Arabian Leopard Trust. Raising awareness of these magnificent cats is essential to these efforts, mobilizing local and international support for their protection. To this end, this edition features original artwork and photographs that capture the enduring spirit of the Arabian leopard.
