Abha, a captivating city in southwestern Saudi Arabia, is nestled in the Asir Mountains near the Red Sea coast. Recognized for its cool climate, lush landscapes, and rich cultural heritage, Abha serves as the capital of the Asir Region. The city is surrounded by dramatic mountain ranges, terraced valleys, and traditional stone villages that reflect centuries of history.
Unlike many regions of the Arabian Peninsula, Abha’s elevated terrain — rising between approximately 7,000 and 9,000 feet (2,100 to 2,700 metres) above sea level — creates a cool, misty atmosphere year-round. Its scenic peaks, vibrant markets, and heritage sites make Abha one of Saudi Arabia’s most unique and beloved destinations.
