Aseer National Park, National park in Abha, Saudi Arabia

The national park extends over 1,580 square kilometers of mountains, valleys, and forests at elevations between 2,000 and 3,000 meters above sea level.

Archaeological findings within the park boundaries reveal human settlements and activities dating back thousands of years in this mountainous region.

Local communities surrounding the park maintain traditional knowledge of indigenous plants and animals, passing this expertise through multiple generations.

Visitors can access multiple entry points along King Abdul Aziz Road, where they will find information centers, picnic areas, and marked hiking trails.

The park's high elevation creates distinct microclimates that support plant and animal species not found elsewhere in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia historical sites to visit : religious monuments, archaeological areas, cultural heritage

31 elements

Saudi Arabia contains a wide range of historical locations spanning multiple periods, from Islamic holy sites to pre-Islamic archaeological remains. The country encompasses both religious destinations that draw millions of Muslim pilgrims annually and ancient settlements that reveal trade networks and civilizations dating back thousands of years. Among the most significant are the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, the Nabatean tombs at Al-Ula, and prehistoric rock art in various desert regions. The collection includes sacred sites such as the Great Mosque in Mecca with its Kaaba and Zamzam well, the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, and pilgrimage locations like Mount Arafat and the ritual grounds at Mina. Archaeological sites preserve evidence of earlier inhabitants, including Madain Salih with its 111 rock-cut Nabatean tombs from the first century, the petroglyphs of Hail dating back 10,000 years, and the sandstone formations of Al-Ula. Urban centers like Riyadh feature the Masmak Fortress from 1865, while Jeddah's historic port district displays traditional coral stone architecture. Together, these locations document the religious, commercial, and cultural development of the Arabian Peninsula across millennia.
