Al Hamda Waterfall – شلال الحمدة

Al Hamda waterfall offers breathtaking views to the visitor all around the year. Surrounded by steep cliffs and lush green fruits and vegetable farms, this hidden gem of Al Baha is unknown to most travelers.

However, it’s located within Al Bahah; it is difficult to access, especially with families as it requires some hiking. The most accessible track passes by the fruits and vegetables farms at the back of the village, which adds a lot to the beauty of the track.

Using this track in the rainy season is not recommended as it gets flooded with rainwater coming from the mountains.

Thee Ain Heritage Marble Village – قرية ذي عين الأثرية

The most excellent place and attraction in Al Baha is just 24 km from the city. People often call it;

• Thee Ain Heritage Village.
• Dhee Ain Village.
• Marble Village.

Thee Ain Heritage Village dates back 400 years, around the 10th century Hijrah; it is built on a gleaming white stone mountain with a mosque and tiny houses varying from two to seven floors in contrasting shades of gray.

Marble Village was a settlement with about 40 houses and a mosque on the banks of a spring. Forts were built to defend the village against outside invasion.

Having its historical importance, this 400-year-old village was abandoned around 30-40 years back due to the erosion of land, buildings, and unavailability of resources for a livelihood.
