Abha City Tour – Heritage, Art, Nature & the Green Mountain

Step into the artistic heart of southern Saudi Arabia with our full-day Abha City Tour – a vibrant journey through heritage villages, colorful streets, tranquil nature, and breathtaking mountaintops. This 6-7 hour experience is a must for travelers seeking culture, creativity, and natural beauty all in one unforgettable day.

Your adventure begins with a warm welcome from your English-speaking tour leader, who will be waiting with a personalized sign at your hotel in Abha. Settle into a comfortable, modern air-conditioned van and get ready to explore a city full of surprises.

Your first stop is the Al-Muftaha Heritage Village, a place where the past meets the present. Once neglected, this district has been lovingly restored using traditional mud and stone architecture inspired by the Asir region’s legacy. The colorful buildings, narrow alleys, and traditional market atmosphere make this a paradise for culture lovers and photographers. As your guide shares stories of the village’s 260-year-old history, you’ll feel transported to a different time.

Next, we stroll down the magical Art Street, one of Abha’s most iconic spots. Lined with flowering plants, outdoor exhibitions, and street artists painting live, this area blends urban energy with creative expression. Take your time to explore galleries, meet local artists, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere. (Optional: Enjoy a local lunch at one of the charming cafes or restaurants in the area—your guide will recommend a hidden gem.)

From creativity to calm, we head to Abha Dam Lake – a peaceful oasis nestled in the mountains. The views here are postcard-perfect, with calm waters, surrounding hills, and cool breezes. It's a perfect spot to relax and take in the natural beauty of the region.

Finally, we ascend to the iconic Jabal Al Akhdar, also known as the Green Mountain. As night falls, the mountain glows in a mesmerizing green light, casting an ethereal glow over the landscape and even tinting the clouds above. Whether you want to sip coffee at the mountaintop café or simply breathe in the fresh mountain air, this experience will leave you refreshed and inspired.

After soaking in the scenic views, we’ll return you comfortably to your hotel in Abha. Want to explore more or add stops to your day? Just let us know – we love customizing your journey!
