Saudi Arabia » Top Things To See
Top Things To See
• See the ragged, coral-coloured Ottoman buildings of the ancient city of Jeddah. Its hotels and restaurants are cosmopolitan and there are good fish and meat markets.
• Witness the astonishing landscape and wildlife of the Asir, a range of coastal mountains and the only part of the kingdom where there is significant wild vegetation. Baboon, gazelle and leopard inhabit remoter areas.
• Whilst in the region, see the ancient gasaba towers, the ancient caravan city of Qaryat-al-Fau, the great dam and temple at Najran.
• See an ancient saltmine in use. The 5,000-year-old one in Abqaiq is still in operation.
• Look around in Taif to see pink palaces in between the stunning cliff-tops. Such beauty and a mild climate have made this town Saudi Arabia’s the official summer capital.
• View a picturesque settlement of fishermen and weavers on Tarut Island. It is also the site of the oldest town on the peninsula.
