A wake of vultures (group of feeding vultures) eating the carcass of a donkey at the suburbs of Abha (around 50 km from the city)

These four cornered architecture is typical of Asir Province. And this is in the suburbs of Abha.

The buildings are two to five floored with thick walls made of mud or stones (whichever is abundant in the area).

Very special about the architecture of Abha is the projected stone flakes laid on the walls of the building in layers that protects it from heavy rains and hail.

Roads in the Kingdom are of superior quality. Cutting through deserts, through endless gravel plains and mountain ranges, the government's first priority seems accessibility to the interiors.

This road descends at 10,000 feet from Jebal Soodah to reach Abha.
