The Al Muftaha Village in Abha is one of the most prominent cultural and artistic landmarks in the Asir region. It beautifully combines the authenticity of traditional southern architecture with the vibrancy of modern art, making it a unique destination for visitors and artists alike.
The village is composed of a cluster of traditional houses and pathways built using classic Asiri architectural techniques, such as:
-
Small, colorful windows that add character and beauty.
-
Thick stone and clay walls providing natural insulation and durability.
-
Traditional roof ledges (Rafraf) designed to protect walls from rain and create shaded facades.
Today, Al-Muftaha has become a thriving art and cultural hub, hosting numerous art galleries, workshops, and exhibition halls, where local and regional artists showcase their creativity. The colorful murals and intricate decorations that adorn the village walls have made it a symbol of Asir’s artistic spirit and a favorite spot for photographers and culture lovers.
Located in the heart of Abha, next to the King Fahad Cultural Center, the village stands as a perfect destination for tourists seeking to experience the harmony between heritage, architecture, and art in southern Saudi Arabia.
