Saudi Arabia - Similar to other mountains in the southern regions of Saudi Arabia, Jabal Al Baydah offers a blend of hiking, relaxation, and education. Visitors can reflect on the lives of early inhabitants through ancient house remnants and observe traditional highland farming and livestock herding methods, which continue to be practiced by farmers alongside modern techniques and technology.

Camping overnight and enjoying a full-day picnic at the 2,300-meter elevation is an indescribably captivating experience. The cool ridge breezes, the touch of winter fog, the calming sounds of wild birds, and the panoramic views are experiences that are seldom encountered unless you are an avid trekker.
