A half day in the middle of Taif: Shubra Palace first, then the market streets around it. The palace is the fixed point of the day; the rest is walking through the traditional market rows the city is known for, stopping where you want to rather than where a schedule says.
The mountain climate here is mild, which is what makes a half day on foot comfortable rather than something to get through. If you are coming up from Jeddah for the day, the timing is set around your drive, and this pairs well with a second half day on the mountain road.
Day by day
