Breathtaking landscapes

5.00The tour to Wadi Lajab was amazing but requires some climbing we weren't fully ready for. Nonetheless it was a great experience, it is a beautiful place to go and Osama, our guide, adjusted the trip so we can view some other parts of the valley. It was magical to look at the valley and absorb such a wild landscape. Osama was one of the best guides I have come across in my travels, so much that we booked another trip with him to Rija Almaa a few days later. His knowledge and his passion for the Aseer region and Saudi Arabia overall are unmatched. I would highly recommend Abha Trips with my eyes closed to anyone travelling in Saudi Arabia. I will contact Osama for my next trip for sure!

5.00I had an incredible experience visiting Wadi Lajab. The valley itself was stunning with a beautiful scenery and an overall peaceful atmosphere. Our guide, Saeed, was absolutely exceptional. He was extremely accommodating from start to finish, and I genuinely enjoyed the conversations we had throughout the trip. His recommendations added a lot of value to the experience. You can tell he cares about making sure guests have a memorable and comfortable time. The whole process was also incredibly smooth. Booking was easy, and Osama, the Abha Tours manager, was very helpful and responsive. Everything felt well organized and hassle-free. Overall, until now, this has been the highlight of my trip, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

The South of Abha (Wadi Lajab, Black Mountain, Rijal Alma) is marvelous..

5.00The hike in Wadi Lajab was the best day douring my two weeks in Saudi Arabia. But the hike is quite hard. We had to climb over a lot of big rocks and to swimm or walk through the water. You use sandale or Sportboots, which can get wet. Bring a dry-bag with you. I recommend the trip to combine at least with two additional days: Black Mountain with 4x4 plus coffee plantation and a drive to Jabal Sawda and Rijal Alma. Stay overnitht at the mountain (Black Mountain hotel).

5.00We had an amazing time with Saeed! He showed us everything and took us through the entire hike. I would definitely recommend doing this hike as it’s one of the best things to do in Abha. We were unsure because of how long the drive was, but the trip to the hiking spot was one of the best parts. It was incredibly scenic and beautiful. One of the highlites was tea at the top of Black Mountain on our way home. Incredible views. Booking through Viator was very expensive. I recommend contacting them directly.

5.00Our guided tour from Abha Trips to Wadi Lajab was simply amazing from start to finish! The place is breathtaking — a hidden gem surrounded by stunning cliffs, clear water streams, and lush greenery you wouldn’t expect to find in Saudi Arabia. Our guide Saeed, was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He explained the history and geology of the area, made sure everyone felt safe, and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and take photos. The hike through the canyon was both adventurous and relaxing — a perfect mix of nature, fun, and exploration. If you’re visiting Abha, don’t miss this tour. It’s one of the most beautiful and unique experiences you can have in the region. Highly recommended!

Great scenery and a fun adventure

5.00We had a great day on this tour to Wadi Lajab. Our local tour guide Osama was very informative and fun, he speaks excellent English. The day started at 9am with a scenic drive of around 3 hours from Abha. We stopped at the Black Mountains for some delicious local food and nice views. The drive into the Wadi was spectacular and so was the scenery in the canyon. Walking through the canyon was mainly scrambling, climbing rocks, wading through water - we probably walked about 1.5 km before turning around. We've spent around 2.5 hours in the canyon before driving back, reaching Abha at around 7.30 pm. Depending on the water level, proper hiking sandals and a drybag may be more suitable than hiking shoes and a backpack. Bring clothes that can get wet or to change afterwards.
Abha is the the best hill station in Saudi Arabia
