Abha is accessible by the state of the art highway network linking to all major cities of Saudi Arabia and by air with a domestic Airport around 20km from the city.

The city lies around 2,200 meters above sea level.

The coolness of the atmosphere with comparatively less humidity and serene landscapes naturally transformed this city into a magnetic resort.

During summer in the lowlands, especially, in the central region with a temperature of about 50° Celsius, Abha will be swarming with people with its moderate cool temperature.

Abha Dam Lake near New Abha provides a number of fun and entertainments in and around the area.

Like the farming around Abha, the houses too are built in steps which reminds me of the mountain houses of Darjeeling in India
