Abha: The Destination

Abha is home to nearly 800,000 residents and sits at high altitude in the ‘Asir Province, giving it a notably mild climate that sets it apart from the heat of the Saudi lowlands. The city is a genuine cultural centre: its summer calendar is filled with sports events, art exhibitions and festivals, while its historic core features imposing fortresses and the landmark Shada Palace. Visitors can stay at the Abha Palace Hotel, explore local cuisine, and spend time with family at the amusement park beside Lake Sadd.

A Brief History of Abha Airport

Abha International Airport was established in 1975 and opened to the public two years later. Originally a regional facility that also served as a military base, the airport has since been upgraded to full international status. It remains one of the highest-situated airports on the Arabian Peninsula at 6,858 ft above sea level, and today functions as the principal aviation hub for both Abha and the neighbouring city of Khamis Mushait. Its proximity to the Yemeni border means it also handles regular flights to and from Aden and Sana’a.
