Fifa Mountains

The Fifa Mountains form a range in southwestern Saudi Arabia that rises to heights above 1400 meters. The landscape is marked by terraced fields that pattern the hillsides and show how generations have worked this land.

Over centuries, the people here built an extensive network of farm terraces to protect fertile soil and collect water. This system shows how they adapted to mountain living and shaped the land for farming.

The communities here maintain distinct traditions visible in their dress and speech patterns. You can observe these customs in the villages and at local gathering places throughout the region.

You can explore the mountains using established paths and find accommodation and food in nearby villages. It is helpful to start early and be prepared for the elevation and terrain, as the walking can be demanding.

The mountains are known for their diverse farming, where growers produce coffee, maize, pomegranates, and cocoa alongside high-quality honey. This variety comes from how the elevation, climate, and local farming knowledge work together.
