Abha

Abha, the bride of the south, is a city of natural beauty and refreshing air. Your journey begins at Jabal Al-Soudah, the highest peak in the Kingdom, where you’ll find panoramic views and cool weather all year round. Enjoy hiking through juniper forests or try the cable car that takes you between the mountains in a magical way to the heritage village of Al-Habala. Stroll through the artistic Al-Muftaha Village, explore Al-Alia Village and the Fog Walkway, and get to know Art Street, famous for its jacaranda trees. Then discover up close the details of local art at the Al-Qatt Al-Asiri Museum, and don’t miss visiting the historic Shada Palace and Shamsan Fortress, which tell the story of Asir’s rich heritage.

Experiences that are truly worth trying include: a stroll in Al Sahab Park, a walk along Art Street, a visit to the heritage village of Al Habala, Al Muftaha Village, Al Alia Village, the Fog Walkway, a trip to the dam lake, boating on Al Soudah Lake, and exploring the villages of Rijal Almaa with their unique stone houses. And for those who love lively atmospheres, don’t miss the Soudah Season events and local festivals. Abha is the perfect destination to escape the summer heat (temperatures in summer do not exceed 20°C) and enjoy a travel experience with a uniquely mountainous character.
