Reasons We Love Al Bahah
The marble village of Thee Ain
Thee Ain Village, located on the outskirts of Al Bahah, is a small village with an amazing history. It was established in the tenth century AH and has been restored by the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities (SCTA). Thee Ain Village consists of 49 houses and built on the Madamek wall system. This village is famous for agricultural crops and surrounded by palm trees and streams.
The breathtaking green landscape of Raghadan Forest Park
Al Bahah is known for its beautiful nature because it is home to a number of lush forests and beautiful parks and reserves that make it easy to get away from it all. Forest in point: the Raghadan Forest Park located on a rocky slope 1,700 meters above sea level. It overlooks Tihamah and known for its greens, picnic areas, and new activities brought about by redevelopments in the area. It even has a cloud gangway that lets visitors walk in a hanging bridge and enjoy the view of clouds covering the valleys and curving roads below.
The pleasant weather all-year-round
The climate of Al Bahah is pleasant and enjoyable all year round.
