Forested slopes and shifting banks of cloud are drawing attention to Habu Pass in Saudi Arabia’s Aseer region, where mountain scenery changes throughout the day.
The nine-kilometre route links the western highlands of Abha with Wadi Marba, winding through the Raydah area in a series of bends overlooking valleys and ridges.

A Saudi Press Agency feature published on 11 November highlights the area’s appeal for photography, nature outings and watching clouds move across the mountains.
Raydah lies about 20 kilometres northwest of Abha, beside Jurf Raydah Nature Reserve. Its highland vegetation and varied habitats add to the region’s appeal for visitors interested in nature.
Travellers should drive carefully on the bends, watch for changing visibility and weather, and leave natural sites clean.
