This is a nice place to walk around. The gardens and plants are beautiful, with many flowers and purple flowering trees. There are playgrounds for kids and many people being picnic blankets and sit. There are some stands to sell food and art, but not as many as I’d hoped. Parking wasn’t as bad as I thought.

Nice place Parking is available free of cost , I. The late evening it is difficult to find the parking , so better reach early Access is free of cost Lots of coffee shops and other traditional shops After sunset it's the best time for photograph due to lighting Lots of area available for sitting with a family and friends Overall it's worth visiting

It’s the signature of Abha city. But you can see the beautiful flowers in the winter season only and it will be very beautiful at that time. Visited in July , But no flowers. Very well maintained walking street. If you are traveling to Abha city you should go there.
