Safety notes
- Makkah is closed to non-Muslims and central Medina has a restricted zone. Both are listed on this site because they are where a great many visitors base themselves — check your own eligibility before planning a trip around either.
- Summer heat here is a planning constraint rather than a discomfort: shade, water and an indoor plan for the middle of the day, and no long walk between late morning and late afternoon.
- Modest dress is expected everywhere in public, and required at religious and heritage sites.
- During Ramadan, eating, drinking and smoking in public in daylight is not done, and opening hours shift; check before you plan a day around a site.
- Do not photograph people without asking, and do not photograph military, port or government sites at all.

ComfortableToo hot
A winter daytime and a summer evening place; in the hot months parks fill only after dark. Asir inverts the national season. The escarpment above Abha sits high enough that summer is mild, and the summer mist and rain that roll up it are the reason people come — the domestic peak season here is the months that are impossible everywhere else.
