What you can expect

  • Begin your adventure with a convenient morning pickup from your designated location in Abha. Set off for the dramatic Al Habala Mountains, often referred to as the 'Grand Canyon of Saudi Arabia.'

    Take in spectacular panoramic views of deep valleys and ancient cliffs, the site of a historic 'hanging village' that once nestled precariously on the cliff face. Feel the refreshing mountain air and capture breathtaking photographs of this unique natural marvel.

    After soaking in the grandeur of Al Habala, return to Abha to explore more of its charms. Stop at Abu Khayal Park, a popular green oasis offering beautiful views, relaxation, and a chance to enjoy the serene environment.

    Next, step back in time with a visit to the historic Ottoman Shemsan Castle. Perched strategically, this ancient fortress offers insights into the region's defensive past and provides commanding views of the surrounding area.

    Immerse yourself in local life at the Tuesday Market (Suq Al Thulatha). Despite its name, this traditional market is open all week, bustling with vendors selling local produce, spices, crafts, and clothing. Experience authentic Asiri culture and perhaps find unique souvenirs.

    End your cultural exploration at the Fatima Museum, a unique establishment dedicated to home decoration and southern women's clothing. Gain fascinating insights into the intricate artistry, vibrant textiles, and traditional aesthetics that define the heritage of the Asir region's women.

    As the day draws to a close, be comfortably driven back to your hotel, enriched with memories of Al Habala's majestic beauty and Abha's captivating history and culture.
