Sabihah Village

Sabihah Village is a heritage village in Al-Qara Governorate, in Al-Bahah Province, located southwest of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is approximately twelve km north of the historic village of Al-Atawilah. It is bordered to the north and east by Nakhal Village, to the west by Al-Karadisah Village, Al-Dahwat Village, and Hadi Village, and to the south by Mahawiyah Village. The village hosts the weekly Tuesday market.

Sabihah Village includes one of the prominent heritage forts in the region, Al-Harshan Fort. The heritage village is situated atop a mountain surrounded by several rocky, vegetation-free mountains and overlooks Wadi Nadl. The village consists of a group of buildings extending along the slope of a hill, with most houses being one or two stories high. The majority of these houses are partially ruined and abandoned.

The buildings in Sabihah Village are closely adjacent, resulting in an architectural fabric that reflects the local style in the planning of the heritage village. The structures form a compact network that harmonizes with the natural slope of the land at its location.

Sabihah Village includes several traditional facilities that are utilized in the tourism sector. Traditional festival events in Al-Bahah Province are held with the participation of government entities at the public square and the Society of Culture and Arts in Al-Bahah Province, within Sabihah Park or Sabihah Square, an area adjacent to the village. The village park is one of the annual tourist destinations in Al-Qara Governorate, alongside Nakhal Park and the public square park.
