Best Things to Do in Abha and Asir 2026: Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's Best-Kept Secret

While most tourists flock to the desert, the Asir highlands around Abha offer a completely different Saudi Arabia. At 2,200 metres above sea level, temperatures hover around 22 to 28 degrees even when the rest of the country bakes.

Paragliding and Aerial Adventures

Tandem paragliding from 2,400 metres is genuinely one of the best adventure experiences in Saudi Arabia. Zip-lining across mountain valleys is another adrenaline option.

Cloud Forest Walks

The Asir cloud forest walk is magical , misty juniper forests, endemic birds, and highland plants found nowhere else. Mountain hiking through Asir National Park offers more strenuous trails with panoramic rewards.
