Al Baha – Land of Lakes and Forests


Al Bahah which is also known as “Pearl of Resorts” and “Garden of the Hejaz” is the smallest of the 13 provinces of Saudi Arabia. The capital of the province is Al Bahah.

Surrounded by major cities like Taif on the north, Bisha on the east, Abha on the south and Al Qunfuda on the west, Al Bahah is one of the major tourist holiday resorts in Saudi Arabia.

An adventure trip to Al-Bahah is all about enjoying the enchanting views surrounded by forestry mountains rising up to 2500 meters above sea level, getting yourself lost in the Lush Green Valleys, astonishing lakes and dams, fruits farms and waterfalls, discovering the South-Arabian traditional arts and its heritage buildings.


Al-Bahah offers several diverse kinds of landscapes to its visitors. Striking steep cliffs ending on western side of Sarawat mountains with forty plus dense forests including Raghdan forest and tourist village are the most famous ones.

Travelers also get fascinated by the traditional historical buildings and villages across the province. Amongst all Thee Ain Historical Village built on a small marble mountain at a strategic location is the most beautiful village where a natural spring flows down the valley all year long.
