In this video of Living the Jo life, we visit the Al Bahah region of Saudi Arabia on the 92nd Saudi National Day. It is a mountainous region with its capital, Al Bahah, located at approximately 2300 m above sea level. Al Bahah is 4.5 hrs drive from Jeddah. Our first stop was Raghdan Forest Park, which is located a few kilometers from the town center. The park is full of activities, including a 1 km long zipline, which we had to try out. After a quick check-in at our hotel, we went for a drive along the scenic King Fahd Road down to Thee Al Ain Historic Village. The historic village consists of 49 buildings dating back around 400 years. The picture-perfect setting of the village includes a lush green oasis at the bottom of the hill and a beautiful mountain backdrop. It is possible to walk into many of the historic buildings to explore their up to four storeys. After dinner, we walked up to Prince Hassam Park, which was full of people, food stalls and entertainment such singing, dancing and music. Prince Hassam Park provided a great vantage point for viewing the amazing display of fireworks in celebration of the Saudi National Day. We had a fantastic time in Al Bahah, and we can highly recommend a visit to this beautiful part of Saudi Arabia.
