Holidays in Al Baha

Been burning the candle at both ends? Desperate for a break and a few early nights? Al Baha has your name all over it. It sits among the beaches, coastal plains, mountains and desert landscapes of Western Province — nice and not too touristy. (We reckon you'll feel so relaxed, you'll be under the doona by sunset!)

It lies 730 kilometres southwest of Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia.

If you journey 20 kilometres to the southeast from Al Baha, you'll reach Baljurashi. Many travellers like to use this as a base to go to Khalid ibn al-Walid Mosque and Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas Mosque.

A few hours outdoors can do wonders for the soul. If you're feeling a bit tense, why not take time out to go picnicking or beach combing?

Indulge in one of your favourite hobbies or try something new on the waters around Western Province. You'll find an assortment of invigorating watersports on offer, such as swimming and scuba diving.

No food-loving traveller would leave Al Baha without digging into a couple of the signature recipes, such as mutabbaq (stuffed pancake) and shorobat il-jeresh (saudi wheat soup).

Still have some give in your waistband after your main meal? Then put in your order for kleeja (cardamom cookie), a mouthwatering dessert.

Held annually on the 23rd of September, Unification of the Kingdom occupies an important place in the hearts and minds of the locals. It offers a fantastic chance to discover the nation's past and have a little fun while you're at it!
