Set off from Jeddah on a 7-day Asir expedition of mountain villages, heritage sites, markets and guided walks, travelling by private vehicle and 4WD with a local leader.
  • Learn about the Flower Men of the Qahtani Tribe and discover ancient art traditions, rose farms and the architectural wonder of Al-Maqar Palace.
  • Take in the rugged mountain landscapes on a short, guided hike along Tanomah’s scenic trails.
  • Visit Abo Noghta Castles and Tabab Village in Abha. Then, explore the striking stone towers inlaid with white quartz at Rijal Alma'a with local guides.
  • Explore Souq Al Thulatha – one of Asir’s oldest and most cherished bazaars. Meet honey traders and browse local produce, herbs, textiles and crafted clay.
  • Sit down to a home-cooked Asiri lunch featuring traditional dishes like haneeth, arika, tasabea, and miva bread, served with the warmth of local hospitality.
Expect centrally located stays, with some properties offering swimming pools where access may be limited to men and children or restricted to certain hours. While accommodation may be well situated, exploring the area on foot isn’t always practical, with your leader able to advise on local options.
