Winter Destination Wadi Al-Ahsabah Highlights Al-Baha's Natural Beauty

Wadi Al-Ahsabah, a significant seasonal watercourse in Al-Baha Region, stretches approximately 100 kilometers from Al-Makhwah Governorate to the Tihamah plains before flowing into the Red Sea.

 Renowned for its unique geography and biodiversity, the valley is a popular winter and spring destination. Its moderate climate and stunning landscapes are adorned with seasonal wild plants, including lavender, rue, and wild mint, as well as Sidr trees and lush green areas.

 The Wadi Al-Ahsabah Dam, built in 2012, serves as the primary drinking water source for Al-Makhwah and Ghamid Al-Zinad. With a length of 895 meters and a height of 22 meters, it has a storage capacity of nearly 11 million cubic meters and supplies about 15 wells.

 The dam site features a 3,600-square-meter park, providing a natural retreat for visitors and enhancing local tourism. During heavy rainfall, the dam’s gates discharge excess water, aiding groundwater recharge and supplying farmers' wells.

 Due to its fresh water and fertile soil, Wadi Al-Ahsabah is among Al-Baha's most productive regions, making it vital for agriculture and local food security. The valley exemplifies a balance between environmental preservation and development, establishing its status as a key water resource and eco-tourism destination in Tihamah.
