If you’re thinking of eccentric new locations in Saudi to truly discover more of its scenic gems, then Abha’s one to consider. Being the capital area of the ‘Asir province gives this spot its beautiful geographic spot.<\/p>\n

Abha’s natural landscapes and many sightseeing spots are just one of few reasons why it should be you and your family’s next staycation. Not to mention, the weather’s always balanced and mild.<\/p>\n

So why not try doing one or most of these things during your visit to Abha?<\/p>\n

(P.S. don’t forget to tag #LovinSaudi on your photos)<\/em><\/p>\n

1. Ride a cable car and surf the clouds of skies<\/h3>\n

People swear by this activity in Abha, it is an absolute must with views of nature from above. You should make sure that places that let you do it aren’t temporarily closed.<\/p>\n

The prices range between SAR 50-90 per person\/per ride. There are usually three locations you can do it from:<\/p>\n

1. Green Mountain to Abha City
2. Souda Mountain
3. Habala<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
