Our next stop is Jebel Sawdah which is one of the highest points of Saudi Arabia peaking at nearly 3,000 meters. Although “Jebel” means mountain, Sawdah is rather a hill that stands on the edge of the Sarawat range where we can enjoy another dramatic perspective.
We drive down the valley to the traditional village of Rijal Al-Ma’a which is the most impressive testimony of Aseeri traditional architecture with dozens of impressively tall stone-made buildings, elegantly ornamented with stones of different colors. We can enjoy a walk in the small shaded streets that connect the traditional houses and visit the local museum that displays the history of this marvelous place.
