About the destination: Here’s an English (Ireland) translation, with subtle adjustments for Irish English phrasing and tone: Abha was known as the land of spices and fragrances by the ancient Egyptians, and over time it’s become much more than that; it’s a place of modest people and unforgettable scenery. Saudi Arabia has plenty to offer, from cool mountain resorts to scuba diving and fishing in the famous Red Sea. If you’re lucky enough to travel to Saudi Arabia—which isn’t the easiest place to get a tourist visa for—be sure to head south to the province of Asir and take in the mild weather and the beauty that Abha and the surrounding region have to offer.
