Région Sud
La Région Sud dévoile une facette totalement différente de l'Arabie Saoudite : l'air frais des montagnes, des sommets embrumés et des terrasses verdoyantes. Les montagnes de l'Asir, entourant Abha, s'élèvent à plus de 3 000 mètres, offrant des sentiers de randonnée aux panoramas époustouflants. Les villages traditionnels témoignent d'une architecture unique, tandis que les Farasan Islands offrent des plages immaculées et une faune sauvage préservée.
