Introducing Asir National Park
This National Park (summer; free admission) in the southwest of Abha was Saudi Arabia’s first and contains some of the Kingdom’s most spectacular scenery, with mountains reaching nearly 3000m before plunging down onto the coastal plain. The park encompasses some 450, 000 hectares stretching from the Red Sea coast, across the mountains and east into the desert. The park’s territory is not contiguous, with a number of pockets of land – separated by towns, villages and farmlands – fenced off for protection.
