Abha

About

Abha, the picturesque capital of Saudi Arabia's Asir Province, is a haven perched 7,000 feet above sea level. Boasting some of the country's highest peaks and verdant vistas, it's a mesmerizing blend of nature's best. Renowned for its iconic Green Mountains and the breathtaking Abha Dam, the city often finds itself covered in fog, giving it an ethereal feel. Nearby stands Jabal Sawda, the country's loftiest peak. For a panoramic view of the city, don't miss out on the Abha Al Jadidah Cable Car Station. Architecturally, Abha is known for hilltop fortresses. The historic Shadda Palace, founded in 1820, once stood as the city's crown jewel. Today, it serves as a museum, housing artifacts and information about the region. Complementing its rich history are numerous mosques, including the grand Abha Great Mosque and several ancient ones, each narrating tales of time.
