The Asir Region of Saudi Arabia is located in the southwest corner of the country and is known for its unique topography. It stretches from the Red Sea coastline and rises to a dramatic mountaintop terrain. This area is renowned for its breathtaking beauty, with rolling green hills, scenic valleys, waterfalls, and ancient fortresses. Tourists can explore some of the most beautiful parts of this region at Abha Palace & Park, Al Soudah Park, Rijal Almaa Heritage Village, and Wadi al-Dawasir National Park.
One interesting historical fact about Asir is that it was once an independent kingdom ruled by the House of Saud in the late 18th century until it was integrated into Saudi Arabia in 1934. Today Asir holds a special place within Saudi society as one of its most culturally distinct areas with an unparalleled natural beauty.
