Where Do Residents Go for Outing in Saudi Arabia?

1 min read

The geographic landscape of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is diverse, encompassing plains, mountains, coastlines, and vast deserts. Its valley banks, broad wilderness areas, and plains provide fertile grounds for picnics.

The Kingdom oversees three bodies of water: the Arabian Gulf, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aqaba, where fishing trips and relaxation on the beaches are among the touristic activities in the Kingdom.

The weather in the southwestern and western highlands of the Kingdom is mild during the summer. Consequently, most residents head to the highlands of Taif Governorate in Makkah al-Mukarramah Province, as well as the highlands of Aseer and al-Bahah Provinces, for summer outings, since these areas witness a decrease in temperature and an increase in rainfall levels.

As winter arrives, the Saudi practices for winter outings begin, marking the start of wild camping trips known as 'al-Kashtah' in the evening, centered around the bonfire's flame, 'Shabbat al-Daw'.
