Submerged Wonders at the Red Sea
As dawn breaks, you’re on a speedboat bound for coral gardens. Snorkeling through crystal-clear waters, you spot vibrant marine life; parrotfish, reef sharks, and hidden shipwrecks suspended in time. By afternoon, you’re paddling through glowing mangrove channels, immersed in tranquil seascapes. Later, you may wander to the luxurious shore: stroll through beachfront and over‑water resorts like Shebara or Nujuma (a Ritz‑Carlton Reserve) or the St. Regis Red Sea Resort, where you can enjoy the “Get 3 Perks” offer including: 15% off your relaxing stay, 20% off food and beverages served under a million stars, and 20% off refreshing spa and wellness treatments.
These moments blend rest and wonder... blissful in every way.
A Road Trip to Aseer’s Heights
After a scenic flight or coastal drive south, you arrive in Abha, the vibrant heart of Aseer. It's warmer by the sea but refreshingly cool in the highlands. You ride a cable car to Al‑Soudah, Saudi’s tallest peak at 3,000 m, or join the Highlands & Heritage Trip from July 31st to August 2nd by Hussak, stepping into a world of juniper forests and drifting clouds, so cool that even jackets feel home‑like. The air tastes of pine, and panoramic vistas stretch as far as the imagination.
You breathe deeply, feeling a softness only mountain air can bring.
Culture Among the Clouds
From peaks to villages, you venture to Rijal Almaa; the honey‑colored stone homes rise against the sky, centuries old, UNESCO‑listed, and echoing past glories. Inside its museum, you wander through loom-woven tales and ancient tools, every artifact a touchpoint to local life. Next, you slow your pace in Aseer’s waterfalls which spill down terraced slopes, and rustic campsites invite you to sleep beneath stars and wake to birdsong. Mountain cafes brim with aromatic coffee and fresh bread, while flower-crowned locals welcome you with warm hospitality.
A Tale to Remember
As your trip draws to a close, you descend from Aseer’s misty heights back to the blazing Red Sea sunshine. You carry stories of coral cathedrals, mountain trails, and starlight by the shore. Saudi in summer stretches from seabed to mountaintop, and within each, it reveals its soul.
This isn’t just a trip; it’s a tapestry woven of ancient culture, ecological wonder, and heartfelt warmth, crafted and celebrated by Visit Saudi.
