Faifa in Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia

A detailed video of the drive up to and experience of Faifa in Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia.
Faifa, often written as Fayfa or even Fifa, is a refreshing lush green hill station built on mountain slopes with cool temperatures. I must admit not many people know about it even in Saudi Arabia. After living here for six years, I had never heard about it until I started planning this trip.
Driving from Jazan city, Faifa is 100 kms with an elevation gain of 1500m, more than 1000 meters in the last 30 kms to the top. Steep switch backs where one cannot and should not divert their concentration from driving to the views takes one to the hill station. Though Al Faifa looks like a single mountain, it is actually several hills wrapped around each other. At the top as I got out of my car, the first thing I noticed was the cool fresh air. Second was the green mountains all around me. From the top, one can notice the steep roads that connect the dwellings on these hills.
The mountains of Faifa are a part of the Sarawat range, one that runs parallel to the Red Sea coast and passes through the provinces of Hejaz, Aseer and Jazan (including Faifa) into Yemen. Though the range is mostly rocky and volcanic, it is alive and fertile at Faifa. The inhabitants of these slopes rely on its fertile soil to grow fruits, vegetables and even coffee. Some of these plants and its fruits can be found at the road side. The mountains receive sufficient rain fall in the monsoon season due to their location in the South, roughly 10 kms from Yemen border.
Faifa is also known to produce quality honey. Here at Faifa one can visit the traditional Souq such as the Nafi’a and Haqou markets where local, mostly organic products are available. The hill station is popular for its agricultural terraces and its heritage cylindrical houses.

I visited faifa in year 2000 but that time there were no roads but people were living on the top. After watching this video I am surprised. Very soon will visit again. Such a wonderful place.

I visited FIFA mountain in 2006 for work, roads were very narrow and it was very scary driving there, was supposed to go again but i refused to go eventhough i was new employee and also told my boss that even if i am fired from job in will not go again. Worked in same company for 15 years. But now it looks like raods are widened and it became a tourist place. Bjt problem is it is in the deep south of KSA.

[@brohiimad]

There is only one route that I know of and its accessible on Google Maps.

I have seen smaller cars up there and you can see in the video as well but you will need good driving skills.
