  • Description

    Located in Abha, the castle has a distinctive interior design. The courtyard has a ground water tank that gathers rainwater to provide the fortress with the necessary water. Additionally, Abha Valley is rich with fresh underground water; some are located below the castle. In the northern corner of the castle, a circular tower leads to a roofed corridor where two chambers dedicated to guards are located on both sides. The castle is open for visitors all year round due to the mild weather, especially during rainfall. All services are available in Abha.
