Asir Mountains

The Asir Mountains form an elevated region with steep cliffs, dense forests, and deep valleys extending across Saudi Arabia's southwestern territory.

The mountains served as a major trade route between Yemen and Hejaz, facilitating commercial exchanges and pilgrim passages throughout centuries.

The mountain communities maintain traditional agricultural terraces and stone buildings that reflect regional construction methods developed over generations.

Visitors can access the mountains through multiple entry points, with the city of Abha serving as the main gateway to explore the higher elevations.

The mountain range receives the highest rainfall in Saudi Arabia, creating a green landscape with juniper forests and agricultural terraces.
