Jabal Dhara, commonly known as the Green Mountain, is one of the most iconic tourist attractions in Abha, the capital city of the Asir region. Renowned for its elevation and breathtaking panoramic views, the mountain offers visitors a chance to overlook the entire city of Abha, as well as the Tihama plains and valleys from its summit.
The mountain owes its famous nickname, the Green Mountain, to the distinctive green lights that illuminate its slopes at night — creating a dazzling visual display that has become a signature scene of Abha’s skyline. Reaching the top is a memorable experience in itself, as visitors can take the cable car, enjoying spectacular views throughout the ascent.
At the summit, visitors will find a variety of facilities designed to enhance their stay, including restaurants, cafés, and parks, making it an ideal spot for families, couples, and adventurers alike. The mountain’s cool climate and clean air add to its charm, particularly during the summer months when Abha becomes a sought-after escape from the heat of the lowlands.
Historically, the Green Mountain once served as a military base and a communication station, a testament to its strategic importance in the region. Today, it stands as a symbol of Abha’s modern tourism, blending natural beauty with leisure and cultural experiences.
