For many Malaysians, Saudi Arabia has long been associated with its major cities. Last week’s fair, however, highlighted a different side of the kingdom, drawing attention to its lesser-known destinations that truly left a mark.

1. Abha, Aseer Region — A Cool Mountain Escape

Known as the “Green Heart,” Abha revealed a refreshing side of Saudi Arabia with its cooler climate, terraced mountain peaks, sprawling national parks and heritage villages such as Rijal Almaa. It quickly became a favourite for travellers seeking nature, fresh air and quiet tranquillity.

Together, these destinations reveal that Saudi Arabia is far more diverse, scenic and surprising than you imagined.
