What To Expect
Al Habala
AlHabala is a small mountain village in the Asir Region of Saudi Arabia. It can be reached by car from Abha within one hour. It is located in a valley almost 300 meters below the peak of the front mountain.
Located on King Abdulaziz Road, feels like walking through vast green fields that seem to extend beyond the horizon. During springtime, the purple Jacaranda leaves captivate the hearts and camera lenses of the park visitors who are fascinated by the chirping of the birds, the many water ponds all over the park, and occasionally, rain showers.

Abha - the Hidden jewel of Saudi Arabia shown by the best company
NagmaJ,May 29, 2026

5.00I had an amazing experience with Abha Trips during our tour to Rijal Almaa and the Saudi Canyon. Everything was very well organized, comfortable, and enjoyable from start to finish. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the itinerary was perfectly planned to let us enjoy the beauty and culture of the region without feeling rushed. A very special thanks to our tour guide, Osama, who truly made the trip memorable. His hospitality, kindness, and professionalism were exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and hidden gems of every place we visited, and he explained everything with great passion and detail. Osama also made sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and cared for throughout the journey. I highly recommend Abha Trips to anyone visiting Abha and looking for a memorable and well-guided experience. If you get the chance to have Osama as your guide, you are definitely in the best hands. Truly one of the best tour experiences I’ve had!

5.00We had wonderful experience with the tour. Our Guide Mr. Ali was very friendly, helpful and gave lot of info about Abha and the future projects happening around Abha.
One of our favorite guides ever

5.00This day ranks as one of the top tour experiences in my life. Dr. Osama holds a masters and PhD from universities in the US, so his English skills were impeccable. He is extremely personable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the sites we visited. He was very flexible, as we only had limited time in Abha so he combined two full day tours into one, picking us up at the bus station after we completed an overnight bus ride from Jeddah at 10AM and finishing our tour around 8PM. But what set this tour apart was the chemistry between us. I was traveling with my 22-year-old daughter and the three of us hit it off from the start (and kudos to her for finding Osama by reading all the reviews). Our experience was not tour guide and tourists, but rather like a friend of a friend showing you around his region. And by the end of the day we developed a friendship that will likely last a lifetime. We felt comfortable discussing any subject about Saudi Arabia, and he came to conversation with a full understanding of the western mindset. So this allowed him to give us insight that others might not have been aware to share. And he has diverse interests such as cybersecurity, AI, real estate, Saudi development, motorcycles, camping, etc. We highly recommend Dr. Osama and his tour company.
Super experience and very excellent trip

5.00Daddy’s trip was more than excellent in every way ❯ A special arrangement and a rich experience from start to finish, including a visit to the most beautiful and top sights of her father. One of the most impressive stops we’ve had, with its stunning views, towering mountain views and magical nature, it was an unforgettable experience, filled with fresh air and natural beauty that relieves. Visit the upper city, check out the most exquisite stops, including the Amphitheater Museum, and then grab the famous savory lamb with her daddy’s bowl. A visit to the Fatima Ancient Cat Museum was also a cultural experience, where we learned about the authentic Ancient Cat heritage and its beautiful artistic details, with extensive explanation and valuable information added to the visit. Nature in all its details of green mountains and mist and beautiful surroundings was magical, and the whole trip was a balance of fun, knowledge, and comfort. All thanks and appreciation to leader and tour guide brother Ali 🌟 Highly professional, rich information, top-notch style, ethical and informative; make sure everyone''s comfort is enjoyable and smooth. Frankly the most recent difference in the quality of the flight was our enjoyment. I highly recommend everyone to sign up for this trip, a repeat-worthy experience and memorable beautiful memories of 6-7 hours. What time did I feel about the beauty of the trip.
Outstanding Tour with an Exceptional Guide!

5.00Mr. Ali (bu Nada) was an absolutely fantastic tour guide today in Abha. From start to finish, he was incredibly kind, professional, and full of positive energy. He explained everything clearly and passionately, making every place we visited even more meaningful and enjoyable. What truly stood out was his great spirit and genuine care—he made sure we were comfortable, engaged, and having a wonderful time. His knowledge of Abha, combined with his warm personality, turned the tour into a truly memorable experience. If you’re visiting Abha, I highly recommend choosing a tour with Mr. Ali (bu Nada). He is not just a guide, but a wonderful person who elevates the entire experience. Thank you, Mr. Ali, for such an amazing day!

5.00This was my second trip with Abha Tours, again with Saeed as our guide, and both experiences were excellent. I definitely plan on returning thanks to the quality of the tours they provide. This one focused more on the history and culture of Aseer, and if you enjoy learning about local heritage, you’ll definitely appreciate this trip.

5.00The tour was fantastic. Mohammed was a brilliant guide and made the day wonderful for us. We even enjoyed the rain! I would urge Viator to reconsider their policy of insisting two people have to pay the price of three.
