Bisha governorate

Bisha extends across both sides of the Bisha Valley, containing 240 villages and 58 settlements at an elevation of 610 meters above sea level.

The region underwent significant changes when it merged from an independent province into the larger Asir Province, modifying the administrative structure of southwestern Saudi Arabia.

The inhabitants of Bisha maintain agricultural traditions centered around date palm cultivation, with three million trees producing fruits distributed throughout neighboring cities.

The King Fahad Dam supplies water primarily for drinking purposes to the population of 205,346 residents, while supporting limited agricultural activities in the region.

The Bisha Valley represents the longest valley system in the Arabian Peninsula, stretching 650 kilometers northward until connecting with Ranya and Tathlith valleys.
