Pakistan Karakoram Highway Expedition
Pakistan
Abha, the capital of Saudi Arabia's Asir province, is a refreshing oasis of cool climate and lush greenery, set against a backdrop of rugged mountains. Sitting at over 2,200 meters above sea level, this city is a delightful anomaly in the desert-dominated landscape of the Kingdom. Abha is renowned for its vibrant cultural scene, including the annual Abha Festival which showcases local arts, crafts, and music. The city's surroundings are dotted with traditional mud-brick towers and bustling markets. Notable attractions include the Al-Soudah Park and the cable car rides offering panoramic views. Abha's unique charm lies in its blend of natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and a more temperate climate, making it a captivating destination in Saudi Arabia.
Immerse yourself in the lush landscapes of Asir National Park, a green haven amidst arid terrains. The park, enveloping parts of the Sarawat Mountains, offers hiking trails through dense juniper forests and viewpoints that boast breathtaking panoramas. Rich in flora and fauna, it's an excellent spot for birdwatching, with over 170 species fluttering amidst the verdant canopies.
Perched over 3,000 meters above sea level, Al-Soudah Park presents thrilling activities like ziplining over mist-covered valleys. The park's boardwalk, with its unique hanging platform, allows for stunning views of the region's terraced farms and traditional stone-built villages, providing both thrill and cultural insights in equal measure.
Discover the unique stone village of Habala, suspended on the sheer cliff faces of the Asir Mountains. Originally settled by the Khatani people, who built their homes into the mountainside, the village is now a cultural hub, showcasing traditional handicrafts, dances, and age-old customs. The village's intriguing history and architecture offer insights into a time when its inhabitants sought refuge from invaders.
Experience serenity on the placid waters of the Abha Dam Lake. Rent paddle boats or embark on lake cruises to admire the surrounding dramatic landscapes. The crisp mountain air, paired with the reflection of towering peaks on the lake's surface, creates a meditative environment, making it a favorite for both relaxation and gentle recreation.
Dive into the bustling ambiance of Al-Sawda Market, a vibrant hub for local handicrafts and produce. Stroll through stalls brimming with aromatic spices, hand-woven textiles, intricate silver jewellery, and local handicrafts. It's the perfect place to savour the region's flavours, with local honey and fresh produce being top picks for many visitors.
For a bird's-eye view of Abha's magnificent landscapes, hop onto the cable car. As you ascend, the sprawling cityscape gives way to rolling green hills, terraced farms, and pristine lakes. The ride, especially during sunset, paints the sky in hues of gold and crimson, providing a romantic backdrop to the city's architectural marvels and natural wonders.
