ABHA: Located 150km north of Abha in Asir, the Tanumah governorate is a prominent geological and tourist destination known for its unique natural diversity and stunning formations.
Its sites are a key part of ºÚÁÏÉçÇø's plan to diversify its national economy under Saudi Vision 2030 by attracting tourists, explorers and those interested in earth sciences.
Abdullah Al-Amri, chairman of the Saudi Society for Geosciences board and director of King Saud University's Seismic Studies Center, said the Tanumah Mountains, part of the Sarawat Mountains, were a rich natural resource.
The governorate’s geographical area extends some 25 km from north to south and 80 km from east to west.
The Tanumah Mountains hold natural treasures, including precious minerals, and have a rich historical and commercial heritage due to their location on the Yemeni Hajj route, once a major trading hub for pilgrims.
