Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Saudi Arabia, including at popular attractions like Al Hokair Land. The warm climate and abundant water sources provide ideal breeding conditions for these pesky insects. Mosquitoes are not only annoying due to their bites, but they also pose a health risk by spreading diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus.

In Saudi Arabia, Al Hokair Land is no exception to the mosquito problem. The theme park's outdoor setting with water features and green spaces attracts mosquitoes, making it important for visitors to take precautions to avoid bites. Mosquito control measures, such as insecticide spraying and eliminating standing water, are implemented to reduce the mosquito population and minimize the risk of mosquito-borne diseases.

Mosquito-borne diseases are a concern in Saudi Arabia, including at Al Hokair Land. Malaria, which is transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito, has been a historically significant disease in the region. Dengue fever, spread by the Aedes mosquito, is also a risk, especially during the rainy season. Visitors are advised to use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and avoid outdoor activities during peak mosquito activity times.
