Lookout at Mt Sooda. Trip to Habala Hanging Village - couple of hours. Trip to Turkish Fort - also couple of hours - fabulous views down a valley towards Yemen. Many older houses are made of mud brick, with slates sticking out to fend off the water. Many nests in bushes of weaver birds. Most hotels will put on tours if enough people are interested. Try driving down the road from near Jabal Sawda, 'Monkey Road' heading to Mohayil, or the road to Taif over the mountain range.
The cable car. Climb up Jabal Sawda. Try to visit the airbase.
