Taif – City of Roses. Roses in Saudi Arabia? Yes – and wonderfully fragrant ones at that.
And what a contrast to the blooming is the barren site of craters, one of them being in many ways highly impressive – the Wahbah Crater.

Food & Drink
Outside the malls, the city of Taif also offers a variety of gastronomic stops.
