Heritage and nature in the South of Saudi Arabia

Again and again! Since Saudi don’t issue the Tourist VISA here is free tour.

Saudi Arabia is the 14th biggest country in the world, and the biggest in the
Middle East therefore you will observe a lot of sights, history and culture.
Media always bring the bitter part of the country.

Southern Saudi Arabia is a smart spot for internal vocation. Very green and
weather always cool all year around.

They plant a lot of fruits and vegetables like Pineapple, papaya and Coffee
beans

People are so friendly and very simple. You see women helping their
husbands on on their daily work of fields or the city.

Here are some photos of Asir, Fifa, Baha, Wadi Laith, Najran and Bani Saad:

Al-Ukhdood (The groove).

Mentioned in the holy Quran in Al Buroj verse.

Al- Buroj n Arabic means The Big Star.

A King dug ditch filled with fire. He used to throw the people whom are
against his believe in that deep ditch.

Here is a verse from the holy Quran talking about this sight.
~~~

85:3 By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;

85:4 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire),

85:5 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel:

85:6 Behold! they sat over against the (fire),

85:7 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers.

85:8 And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in
Allah,

Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!-

85:9 Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And
Allah is Witness to all things.

http://www.imaratarriyadh.gov.sa/images/sd28.jpg

85:10 Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and
women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will
have the Penalty of the Burning Fire.

Lovely, my grandparents own a house in abha. Ive never visited the place yet, but every summer they go there.

these look like jayzan or jabal fefe if im not mistaken.. right?

nice pics, I've been there, originally part of southern saudi arabia belongs to yemen. I also went to the peak of the highest moutain in saudi arabia, jabal al sawdah at 3300 m.

olive touch, if you know me, i am crazy about nature and nature pictures. Nearly all of my threads have to do with nature. These pictures are so cool. Please keep them coming. :okay:

Very nice pictures Olive touch!

Hello all

Qatar4Ever Oh do you have relatives or roots from the South?
You are correct those pictures are combinations of Asir, Fifa, Baha, Wadi Laith, Najran and Bani Saad all together. Still Najran not as green as the others.

Bahraini Spirit I hope you enjoyed your time there ;).

Allan Merhaba, mutlus ye blmek sen hoalanmk doga. Correct me if I were wrong, I forgot most of my Turkish :(, I tried to say (Happy to know you enjoy nature). If you remember Ibrahim Tatlis old tradition music, the south of Saudi Arabia remind me of him I don’t know why :). I just love his songs spicily Mavi Mavi and Allah Allah hualya brings old memories.

Huit where have you been ;), we miss you here!

Olive touch,
Here how you would say what you were trying to say in Turkish: Dogayi sevdigini bilmek mutluluk verici.(Happy to know that you love nature)
Thanx for your attention. Yes, I really love the nature. Here is a link to my last thread, I don't know if you have already seen it.

I'm kinda really weally busy these days... I try to check these forums regularly but can't post that often. Keep up with the good work!

Thanks olive touch, but no im not from the south or anything, i just know alot about saudi arabia and its areas. I think the mountains pictures of fifi is the best, i think that area and the ppl who live there are the most interesting in the arabian peninsula.

hey olive touch very nice pics. i just wana know do you guys have any ancient cities in saudi arabia?

Hello Justin194 yes we have many. I did a post on Madain Saleh here
is the link: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=173087

OK I just posted something about Khaybar the old (Arab, Jewish, Assyrian
and Babylon city).
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=174573

The city of Tema, Makkah, Farasan Island…etc are all ancient cities. Some
lost its identity and some still survived. There are some very old villages in
the north and south, which are very old as well.

Geologist are studding a location in Jeddah, they believe there is a city
barred under the ground there.

Qatar4Ever I agree with you Fifa is amazing place and you are very
right there people there are very interesting. I mean men wear flower near
their ears and women wear a huge hat like the Mexican hats :). I am sure
you are aware of those.

Did you know some part of the South they don’t speak Arabic! They speak
(Hamyari) which is a Semitic language but not Arabic.

Huit I am glad you are doing well, keep busy and stay out of
troubles;).

Allan Thanks for the correction! I am the worst Turkish writer in the
world. Still when I speak or pronounce the words I have the perfect accent.
When I speak Arabic (my language) I have the influence in my words.

I will see your nature photos, in fact I have aloooot of nature photos taken
by my self. I might share it with you soon.

^
I am looking forward to see them.

Wow, these sights are once again, phenomenal. Why doesn't Saudi Arabia issue tourist visas? What do they issue? And is there any possible way i may be able to tour Saudi Arabia on my own? It is such a beautiful place and there is nothing i would love to do more then explore the land of the prophet.

Hi all,

Allan ;). The pictures of nature I took are from the US because I am now
there. I will post them some where else but you will be the first person to know about them.

Nizey: I am so glad you enjoyed the photos. We have only 2 Visas which is
Omrah VISA(for religious duty) and business VISA. I think they will be issuing
tourist VISA someday in the future. It is the government policy for not
issuing it.

Great pics!

Just updated some photos.

Enjoy.

VARY NICE.. SO MUCH GREEN

Beutiful pictures from a wonderful country.

such a beautiful country, but cant visit :(

In a few years you'll have Banana plantations too (Bananas are already grown in the south, but in small farms not large plantations)....


Mexico to Help Saudi Arabia in Banana Cultivation
Arab News - 10/06/2005

Mexico is offering its technology for cultivating bananas in the Kingdom, Mexican Ambassador Raul Topez Lira told a press conference at the embassy last week. He said bananas originally came from Yemen before they were transplanted in Spain and Canary Islands and then in Mexico.

A 10-member trade delegation consisting of members from the Mexican State of Tabasco and from Mexican Company AmEurop visited Kingdom recently.

Chairman of the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) Abdul Rahman Al-Jeraisy hosted a banquet for the delegation members at RCCI headquarters where they met with their counterparts in the capital.

Speaking about the proposed banana plantation in the Kingdom, the head of the delegation from Tabasco, Nobel Gomez Sanchez, said a study made during his visit to the Kingdom last December revealed that areas in Jizan province are ideal for banana cultivation.

"These areas have climatic conditions similar to those of Tabasco which is a banana producing state," Sanchez said adding that another study has been planned to determine the temperature, wind, humidity and water condition before the program goes ahead.

Regarding the viability of the project, he said: "Based on historical data we think it is a profitable business.

" It was in this region that banana was first produced. Arabs took bananas to the Canary Islands and the Spaniards took them on to the Americas," Sanchez said.

"If the conditions are favorable, we will plant an area of 500 hectares and bring plants developed in a laboratory which are fertile and thus avoid delays and losses in production."

He said such cultivation on a commercial scale could produce adequate bananas for local consumption in a period of 12 months and added that they could be exported to other countries in the region.

Mexican exports to the Kingdom are valued at $12.8 million, while its imports have reached $258 million. The Mexican businessmen who visited Dammam and Jeddah during their visit also explored opportunities for other businesses.

Earlier in a statement Ambassador Lira said Mexico is an ideal destination for a family holiday.

Great thread & amazing pics & breathtaking province.

what a shame i never new about it!!!!!!

whats its name?

wow thats amazing

Beautiful places, including this lake ^^

Is that lake result of a Dam?

^^i don't know really i got it from email!but when i check it on Google earth it doesn't looks like a dam!

Saudi Arabia has a lot of Dams in the south doesn't it? For agricultural purposes?

The way the road bends along the edges of the lake it makes me think a lot this is man-made.

Another question is this fresh water? or Saline lake?

found some pics of "Thy Aein" village

I am so glad this forum is still alive after all these years. Saudi Guy, I
was in Al Namas 3 years ago and I feel so bad that I did not have the chance
to visit Al Maqar Museum. It is great to know this humble city has a
treasure. I fall in love with Abha specially in the winter. This part of Saudi
alone would change the typical stereotype, nature-wise, of our beautiful
country. By far it is one of the best spots in Saudi to camp, bike and hike.

WOW, beautiful evergreen trees in Abha:banana:

This country is incredible!

are those coniferous native to Abha?

No, I remember someone telling me algeria, and they keep experimenting with new species.
