Road trip from Riyadh to Taif -Traveling with kids #taif #riyadh #saudiarabia #ksavlogs
As promised, here is my review/story of our trip from Riyadh to Taif.
Taif is a city and governorate in the Makkah Province of Saudi Arabia. Located at an elevation of 1,879 m (6,165 ft) in the slopes of the Hejaz Mountains, which themselves are part of the Sarawat Mountains,[1] the city has a 2020 estimated population of 688,693 people, making it the 6th most populous city in the kingdom.
The city has been called the unofficial summer capital of Saudi Arabia[5][6] and has also been called the best summer destination in Saudi Arabia[7] as it enjoys a moderate weather during summer, unlike most of the Arabian Peninsula. The city owes its popularity among tourists to its many mountain resorts and moderate climate, even during the harsh summers of Arabia. The city is connected to the nearby resort town of al-Hada via the iconic Highway 15 (Ta'if–al-Hada Road). It stands out from the rest of the Hejaz region as it is a city that plays an active role in the agricultural output of Saudi Arabia and is the center of an agricultural area known for its cultivation of grapes, pomegranate, figs, roses and honey.[8] Ta'if is also very active in the manufacturing of traditional 'Ittar, and is known locally as the City of Roses (Arabic: مدينة الورود, romanized: Madinat al-Wurud). Ta'if also hosts the historic Souq 'Okaz
Before leaving home, I made sure we had snacks, sanitizers, disinfectant sprays, sanitizing wipes, extra masks, towels, our own bedsheets, hand soaps, toiletries, our own kettle, cups, glasses, plates. I did not want to use any of these stuffs from other places. I suggest you do the same if you are traveling during these times and want to take precautions as much as you can.
Coming back to the story ????
We left Riyadh at around 6 am and reached Taif around 12.30 pm. The drive is almost 6 to 7 hours, depending on how many stops you make.
We didn’t make any stop as kids slept throughout the drive.
Our booking was in a different resort but we didn’t like the location of our rooms so we booked Al ward Heritage village in Al Shafa, this is also a part of Taif city.
You can book the Al ward Heritage village here:
It was our second time in the same resort and it was great. The villas were clean, tidy and the best part about this resort is that it is not in between other resorts. It’s a separate resort, although not very lush and expensive, very reasonable.
The worst part about this resort was that it had no WIFI. Apart from that, there was nothing bad, and we loved our stay. Rooms were super clean, everything was working fine. Kids playarea was nice and pool was amazing.
We stayed for an hour in our villa and left for Jabal Dakka.
Jabal means mountain, Jabal Dhaka, is the highest mountain in the area of the town of Ash-Shafā (Arabic: ٱلشَّفَا, lit. 'The Cure'),[1] about 20 km (12 mi) from the city of Taif, located in the western region of Saudi Arabia.[2]
The height of the top of the mountain is between 2,500 and 2,900 metres (8,200 and 9,500 feet) above sea level, this has caused a controversy with the timing of the sunset for Ramadan, as the sun stays on the peak two minutes longer than the surrounding area. To resolve the controversy a panel of religious scholars visited the mountain to observe sunset.[3] The committee of legitimacy, including a member of the Supreme Council of Saudi Scholars Abdullah al-Mutlaq determined that the peak need not adhere to calendar.
The mountain is located 20 kilometres (12 miles) south-west of Taif. It overlooks the Shifa tourist center. The mountain is used to know the dates of prayer, fasting and breakfast in the month of Ramadan. The vegetation of the mountain is covered with juniper trees, the plant covers the bottom of the mountain and then gradually thins out until it reaches the top. The temperature of the top reaches below 0 °C (32 °F) in the winter. The mountain has a tourist resort just 7 km (4.3 mi) away from the Shifa.[4]
It’s a nice place to visit as the views are amazing. A must visit if you are in Taif.
We left Jabal Dakka and we came across Miraj restaurant. You can check the reviews and location here.
Although its not a very fancy restaurant, but the food was reasonably good and charges were not too much high. The service was quick but it is not a lavish restaurant. I sanitized the table and made sure I took all the precautions. They have a lot of Indian dishes and their best thing was their yummy garlic butter naans. You should try these.
We left the restaurant and went back to our resort and had a long sleep.
Next morning we left the resort. It was a very nice stay. Except the WIFI issue, everything was good. Kids enjoyed a lot.
I hope you guys enjoy the video.
