Day tour

Habala and the hanging village

  • 1 Day
  • Full day

A full day at Al Habala, in the Aseer highlands outside Abha. The cable car is the centre of it: it drops from the rim to the village site on the cliff face below, and once you are down the walking is short, so you can stay as long as you like before riding back up.

Al Habala Park at the top is set up for families and there is no rush built into the timings, which is why this is a full day rather than a squeezed morning. If you would rather split the day, Rijal Almaa Heritage Village, 45 km from Abha, can be added in the afternoon.
