Best Time to Visit Aseer

The ideal time for outdoor adventures in Aseer is summer (June to August), when temperatures hover pleasantly between 15-25°C . The region's higher rainfall creates lush greenery and flowing waterways you won't find elsewhere in the Kingdom.

Winter visitors (December to February) can experience a different kind of magic - misty mountain peaks, occasional rainfall, and temperatures that can drop below 10°C. Bring proper cold-weather gear if visiting during this season.
