Al-Baha Region Advances Comprehensive Development and Investment Opportunities

Al-Baha is witnessing a significant phase of comprehensive development, marked by integrated municipal and developmental projects, expanding investment opportunities, and strengthened agricultural and tourism sectors, guided by a strategic vision that leverages the region’s competitive advantages.
 Secretary of Al-Baha Region Dr. Ali Al-Sawat stated that the region’s municipality has implemented 125 projects over the past five years, totaling more than SAR1.23 billion. These projects include paving, sidewalks, lighting, flood control, municipal facilities, urban development, and consulting services. The initiatives have created an attractive investment environment, with 2,237 investment opportunities emerging during the same period, supporting sustainable economic growth and an improved quality of life.
 Director General of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture’s Al-Baha branch Fahd Al-Zahrani highlighted the region’s agricultural advantages, including its diverse climate and topography. Al-Baha produces over 8,000 tons of pomegranates annually and is a major honey producer with around 1,250 tons per year, positioning it as a key agricultural hub in the Kingdom.
 Historically and culturally, Al-Baha is one of the oldest inhabited regions in southwestern Arabia. Researcher Ahmed Qashash noted its significance as a station on historic caravan and pilgrimage routes. The region’s agricultural terraces, traditional irrigation systems, stone villages, archaeological sites, and early Islamic inscriptions have shaped a unique cultural and tourist identity.
 These achievements reflect Al-Baha’s balanced and strategic development, enhancing its investment and tourism appeal, supporting sustainable growth, and reinforcing its position as one of the Kingdom’s most promising regions.
