About Al Hada
Al Hada Protected Area is situated on the escarpment of the Hejaz Mountains in the Makkah (Mecca) Region of western Saudi Arabia, at elevations of 1,500–2,000 metres above sea level above the holy city of Mecca. The area is a popular resort destination for Saudi families seeking escape from the extreme summer heat of the coastal Tihama plain and the cities below. Al Hada is known for its cool mountain climate, juniper and wild olive woodland, and spectacular views over the terraced slopes of the Asir-Hejaz highlands. The protected area designation aims to conserve the remnant natural vegetation and wildlife of the mountain zone while managing the significant recreational pressure from the nearby urban population.
