Cooler temps year-round, theatrical mountains, misty mornings, lush green forest trails with panoramic views, valleys, waterfalls, and vibrant culture all come together to make Aseer, nestled in the south-west of Saudi Arabia, one of the country’s most visit-worthy regions. And Tanomah, one of its star locations, attracts adrenaline chasers, culture vultures, and nature enthusiasts alike.
Sitting at 2,000 metres above sea level and found in the southern part of the province, Tanomah is overflowing with history, culture, and architectural delights, including the distinct stone houses, minarets, traditional honey farms, and noteworthy villages, such as the nearby Al Namas and the abandoned Ghaya. Plus, with its breathtaking nature, Tanomah instinctively offers a variety of activities in the great outdoors, from hiking, biking, and camping to stargazing, barbecuing, and kayaking in the Al Namas reservoir.
The tree-lined Al Haifa Park is the perfect place to enjoy some of these activities as visitors can find lots of shaded spaces. Additionally, it is a renowned spot for horse riding, making it particularly popular with equestrian buffs. Imagine trotting or cantering on a majestic and noble horse while feeling Aseer’s fresh and revitalising air around you. It’s one of the most stress- relieving and calming ways to discover one of the country’s most scenic parks, thanks to the rhythmic movement riding extends. Additionally, saddling up helps connect riders with nature and other people in the vicinity. This includes the professionals who are available to help those willing to discover a new pastime.
