Abha Dam - Asir Province

3.9Reviews

Description

Located just a 10-minute drive from the city center, Abha Dam is a beautiful lake with a quiet and peaceful environment. The place also has a moderate temperature with a cool breeze blowing across the lake almost all the time, which makes it a good spot to have a nice day out with family or friends. 

Landscape

Abha Dam is surrounded by major city attractions like cable car stations, Funland, and the Palace Hotel. It also has many cafes and restaurants nearby; there is even a Dunkin Donuts just a few minutes walk away from the site. 

During the winter, the lake gets covered with fog which makes for a beautiful scene. Moreover, if you get closer to the lake, you can see little ducklings and fish swimming close to the surface. Kids enjoy feeding the ducks but don’t let them get too close because the lake is quite deep. All and all, it is a good place to spend a weekend with your family and have a picnic or barbeque

Very nice and clear view of the mountains around and also good to see the different types of birds in the area. The place is magnificent and I am happy to say it will be a pleasure if you visit this area you have good food and also the cable car is working well you only have to be there in good time not to listen to others that say it is not working. I enjoyed my visit there and I wish to do it again but time is always a factor

As opposed to the articles I've read about this in the internet, we were not able to walk around the perimeter of the dam. The gates were closed near the crest. Also, the bleachers overviewing the dam were also inaccessible. I think maybe it's because of the pandemic situation. However, the picnic place here is quite comfortable. Needs more renovations though to sanitize the place and add more ornamental plants, please. BONUS: I was surprised too that there were guys fishing down the dam, and I asked myself "was it even possible?" ?
