Contrary to popular belief, Saudi Arabia is not just a desert country with extreme temperatures. In fact, there are places in the country that enjoy cool and pleasant weather all throughout the year.

One such place is Abha, Saudi Arabia's city in the sky. The capital of Asir Region, Abha is situated 2270 meters above sea level and planted amidst the endless stretch of sand and rock formations. Abha also has an extensive history that resulted in a rich cultural heritage and tradition.

Continue to Muftaha Village where you can admire the impressive artworks by local and regional artists. Then, explore the Green Mountain, one of the best viewpoints over the whole city at 2340 meters high. With its selection of cafes and restaurants, you can even feast your eyes and palate at the same time. Proceed to Al Basta District, an archaeological district that features Ottoman castles, bridges, old buildings, and traditional shops.
