Al Hada Mountain - At Taif | Secret World Trip Planner

High above the valley that runs toward Makkah, Al Hada is home to playful baboons, rose fields and natural vastness. A serpentine road sweeps elegantly down the mountainside, as do ancient zig-zagging camel trails. As the sun sets and locals gather at lookout points, the rows of mountains on the horizon fade into a grayish ombré. Saudi’s longest cable car runs between the mountaintop and the wadi floor, where there’s a water park and toboggan slide at the Hijazi-style Al Kar Tourist Village.
