History of Tourism in Abha

The city of Abha is the capital of Asir Province in Saudi Arabia and has been a hidden gem for tourism for many years. Traditionally, the tourism industry in Saudi Arabia was largely based on religious pilgrimages to the cities of Mecca and Medina. However, in recent years, there has been a concerted effort by the Saudi government to diversify its economy and promote tourism across the kingdom as part of Vision 2030. This strategic plan aims to reduce the country's dependence on oil and develop other sectors including tourism.

In this context, Abha has gained prominence thanks to its temperate climate, stunning landscapes of mountains and lush greenery, and cultural heritage. The Al-Soudah area and the Asir National Park have long been attractions for those interested in natural beauty and outdoor activities. The cultural heritage of Asir's traditional villages and the famous Rijal Almaa Heritage Village also attract those with an interest in history and culture.

Abha Palace Theme Park

Abha Palace Theme Park is a relatively new addition to the tourism scene. Situated in the heart of Abha City, by the tranquil Abha Lake, it combines entertainment with the spectacular natural beauty of the area. The theme park includes attractions suitable for all the family, ranging from thrilling rides for adventure seekers to more leisurely attractions for those looking to enjoy a relaxed day out.

As part of the tourism development efforts, the theme park has been designed to reflect the cultural motifs and architectural styles of the Asir region, blending tourism with cultural education. The park also hosts various festivals and events throughout the year, attracting both local residents and international visitors.
