Jizan is a port city and the capital of the Jizan region. It lies in the southwest corner of the Kingdom and north of the Yemeni border.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And you’ve probably already heard or seen photos that show the natural wonders of Jizan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Well, if you’re like us (always looking for a weekend vacay), then here are some incredibly touristy but FUN\u00a0things to do in Jizan…<\/p>\n

1. Visit the Heritage Village<\/h3>\n

Try out Jizani food, learn about its people, culture and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3. Go check out Farasan Islands<\/h3>\n

You can’t go to Jizan and not visit this, especially if you’re into scuba diving or water sports. Just like our resident travel blogger, Laura Alho of Blue Abaya said, it’s like a private island all yours for a day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

4. Heal yo’self naturally at the hot water springs<\/h3>\n

Driving from Jizan to the Al-Khoubah or Bani Malik hot springs will be a 75-km ride but trust us when we say it’s worth it. The temperatures of the water there reach a good 45 degrees Celcius, providing minerals that have great health benefits for you.<\/p>\n

Although, not adviseable during summer (for obvious reasons.)<\/p>\n

7. Shop at the souks or public markets\u00a0<\/h3>\n
