Hotels in Asir, Saudi Arabia
Asir is a mountainous region in southwestern Saudi Arabia with a mild climate-summers average 75°F (24°C) and winters drop to 50°F (10°C)-making it famous for its green landscapes and the traditional stone villages of Abha. In summer, you can hike through Asir National Park's juniper forests and ride the cable car to the top of Jabal Al Souda, the country's highest peak at 3,015 meters; in winter, explore the 1,000-year-old mud-brick village of Rijal Almaa, where you'll find local crafts and honey shops. The region's cooler weather compared to the rest of Saudi Arabia means you can enjoy outdoor activities year-round, with spring bringing wildflower blooms perfect for photography.
