Saudi Arabia's Soudah: A Solace From Scorching Heat To Scenic Mountains
Saudi Arabia’s Soudah is, for many, an escape from the scorching heat of the desert land, with the kingdom’s largest peak, Jabal Soudah, located in the mountainous region. With a cool to moderate climate throughout the day—between 22 degrees Celsius and 5 degrees—the area in the Asir region of the Kingdom offers a tranquil ambience, untamed nature, and mist-covered valleys.
At 3,015 meters above sea level, Soudah differs from the mainland in being a tree-covered, cool mountain with a distinct landscape. The Public Investment Fund (PIF)-owned Soudah Development Company is making significant infrastructure investments, including advancing the entertainment, residential, and commercial sectors, while facilitating national treasures and heritage sites.

Stretching across a massive 4,500 square kilometres, the Asir National Park in Soudah is the country’s first national park. Another sought-after destination, the park features beautiful coastal plains, steep canyons, verdant slopes, and breathtaking mountains.
