A Day Trip to Taif from Makkah

After days of worship in the heat, Taif offers a restful change of scenery.

Getting there

The Al Hada road climbs 2,000 metres with views across the Hejaz mountains.

Visit the rose farms, the mosque of Abdullah ibn Abbas and the Al Shafa viewpoint.

Spring is rose season; summer is pleasantly cool compared with Makkah.
