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.

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.

:) very nice!!

some thing would not normally see

Amazing stuff. Definitely not what you'd expect to see in the KSA! I did know that the western mountains were a unique ecosystem, but I didn't know how different from the rest of the KSA it was.

Beautiful!

I like this so much:
