Aseer National Park

Aseer National Park is a protected mountain area in Abha spanning across mountains, valleys, and forests at elevations between 2,000 and 3,000 meters. The terrain combines different habitat types that together form one continuous natural landscape.

Archaeological finds show that people have lived in this mountainous region for thousands of years. The area holds a long history as a settled and used landscape in Saudi Arabia.

Local communities around the park maintain traditional knowledge about native plants and animals that shapes how they use the land. This connection between people and nature remains visible in daily practices across the region.

The park can be reached through several access points along King Abdul Aziz Road, where information centers and picnic areas are located. Marked hiking trails help visitors navigate and explore different parts of the landscape.

The park's high elevation creates different climate zones that shelter plant and animal species found nowhere else in the country. These special conditions make it a refuge for rare forms of life.
