Saudi Arabia Expedition - Asir Adventure

About this trip

Journey through Saudi Arabia’s Asir region on this seven-day adventure. At 2200 m above sea level, you’ll explore terraced farms, coffee plantations and UNESCO World Heritage–listed villages. Learn about the Flower Men of the Qahtani tribes, whose traditions date back over 2000 years, visit Abo Noghta Castles in Abha and wander through one of Asir’s oldest bazaars. Try traditional dishes like haneeth (slow-roasted lamb) and masoub (banana bread pudding), discover the stone towers at Rijal Alma'a and set off on a short hike along Tanomah’s scenic trails. Cooler and greener than the rest of the country, Asir offers a rare glimpse into Saudi Arabia’s cultural heartlands.
