The Resort in The Desert – Asir

Named after the Asir Tribe, Asir is a region in the southwestern part of the Kingdom. Asir is famous for its rains. The region receives more rainfall than any other in Saudi Arabia. It also contains the highest peaks of the country.

It is safe to say that Asir is the geographical jewel of the country. With its torrential weather and scenic landscape, it is very different from what the rest of the country has to offer. The heavy rainfalls have turned the region into the most lush and green part of the country while increasing the agricultural value of the land as well. It now is one of the biggest producers of wheat and fruit crops. What makes Asir so special is the tribal charm it still possesses.

The region shares a small portion of its border with Yemen. But the influence this relationship has had on the Asir region is largely visible in its architecture. The modern developments have not yet touched Asir, except for a few parts. Thus creating an ethnic attraction for the region.

People from all over Saudi Arabia flock to Asir during the sweltering Arabian summers to relish the bliss of the laidback resort. There are plenty of properties for sale in Abha due to its relatively modernistic approach as compared to the rest of the region. There is also a soaring market for properties for sale in Khamis Mushait.
