from green mountain landscapes and spring rose fields to the dramatic canyons of Tabuk and the crystal-clear Red Sea, Saudi Arabia is full of contrasts and hidden beauty
Every spring, the mountains of Taif transform into a sea of soft pink roses. Known as the City of Roses, Taif sits high in the Sarawat Mountains, offering cooler weather, lush farms, and a slower, traditional Saudi atmosphere.
