Let's Start!

Day 1: Abha - Al Namas - Tanuma Tour

Dear Lykkers, our journey begins at 10 am with a visit to the famous Tuesday Market in Abha. This bustling market has been a cultural cornerstone for over 25 years. It's the perfect spot to explore local artifacts like pottery, iron crafts, traditional clothing, jewelry, ghee, honey, and aromatic flowers.

Next, we head to Al-Namas, also known as "the city of fog," to visit the Al-Maqar Palace. This palace, steeped in history, houses thousands of decorations.
Finally, we travel to Tanuma, just 20 minutes from Al-Namas, for an invigorating mountain hike. Surrounded by juniper trees and stone houses, Tanuma is a paradise for hikers, bird watchers, and climbers.
