2. Jabal Al Sawda
Jabal Sawda (Jabal Al Soodah) is quite
possibly the most noticeable milestones in
Saudi Arabia and spot to visit in Abha, as
it denotes the country's most noteworthy
pinnacle. The mountain stands just shy of
10,000 feet in beautiful Al Soudah
National Park, an incredible spot for
climbing in the Kingdom. Travelers who
don't want to journey to the top can board
a trolley in Abha or on the north side of Al
Soudah National Park.

4.  A tremendous mud and mud-block fortress that saw
the introduction of a realm, Al Masmak - the word
implies a high, solid and thick structure - fills in as a
pleased token of Saudi Arabia's celebrated history. In
1902, King Abdulaziz caught the post and assumed
command over Riyadh (his familial home) in the wake
of having resided far away, banished for good in
Kuwait. From this stronghold, Abdulaziz Al Saud
vanquished and joined the various realms and regions
that make up the Saudi country as far as we might be
concerned today.
 Underlying 1865, the fort has filled some needs. Albeit
initially used to house the posts who safeguarded the
city, it later was an ammo stockroom after the attack
by King Abdulaziz and, even later, a jail.

6. Masmak Fortress can be tracked down only a short
drive south of Murabba Historical Palace. The
previous post which once safeguarded the city is well
known for its mud-block and earth outside. The huge
complex later filled in as a storage facility for ammo,
and after a 1902 attack by Ibn Saud, the fortification
was utilized as a jail.
