Al Wahbah crater

Reviewed By ricshanshibly1986 - Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Must visit place in KSA. Even though its quite long drive from Taif it is worth to visit this wonderful site. 250kms drive from Taif city. Ideal time to visit this site early morning or evening after 3pm. During day time exploring the site will be little difficult. Its kind of adventure trip. take more water bottles if planning to explore the site. One of must visit place in KSA bucket list done.

Al Rudaf Park

Reviewed By AFAK25 - Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

We came in the evening after Maghrib. Just in time for the musical fountain to start playing. The show was only for 15 minutes. Just don't expect Dubai Mall type of display and you will not be disappointed. The whole place is huge that it takes about an hour to walk around the trek. There is a light garden which has variety of objects lit in various colours. They are only switched on in the evenings and they are very beautiful. There's an open space just outside of the park where visitors can hire ponies, horses or even camels for rides.

Jouri Mall

Reviewed By saqib88 - Taif, Saudi Arabia

I have visited this mall on many occasions. Firstly their is LOTS of free parking available spread out over the 5 gates. The mall itself is very clean and you have no shortage of shops to visit. The food court is also very good with at least 15-20 different outlets/restaurants to choose from. Also has some very nice dessert places which is always a bonus!
