Start with the Kingdom’s capital located right in the middle of Saudi Arabia. It is the hub of government offices, big corporations, factories and embassies, which makes it a popular destination for businessmen and job seekers.

They call it the Bride of Nature. It is known for the colorful buildings and great weather. Located in the south of the Kingdom and mostly visited during the summer season, Aseer is an agricultural area known for olive trees, and honey, which is known to be the best of its kind in the Kingdom, so don’t hesitate to take some with you back home. Local and open markets are very big in Aseer where tourists can find great deals from local products such as clothing, food and furniture. The farmer market is also a crowded place, especially on weekends and is a must-see to discover the local harvest.
The stone-built village, stern guardian of a trade route now in disuse for a long time,nestled in the valley at the foot of Souda Mountain, was hewn, dressed and built with relatively crude tools out of the local rock. It required a huge amount of human effort to build it. Eventually it fell into disrepair and became part of history. It has been restored and preserved by the local community and has won the Prince Sultan bin Salman Prize for Preservation of Urban Heritage in 2006.
Abha has established itself as the tourist capital of the region and displays all the trappings of the mass tourist trade. Cable cars, luxury hotels, amusement parks and some well-developed easily accessible tourist sites, all located in the cool mountains, which make it a popular summer destination for thousands.

It is known as the Kingdom’s Pearl of the South. The agriculture and greenery in this area is just remarkable and makes a perfect background for a picture. The islands and beaches of Jazan are also famous among locals who spend their weekends fishing and enjoying water activities and sports there. Farasan Island is one of the most famous islands in the south of Saudi Arabia, especially known for its Hareed, parrotfish, festival when swarms of this pretty fish appear in the shallow waters in the Al-Hasis gulf close to the Farsan Island.
