Tourists drawn to Al-Mandaq’s farms, cottages renovated by locals.

Several private farms in Baha have been renovated and revamped by their owners to reflect agricultural tradition and cultural identity, helping to attract tourists to the area.

Among these, Al-Mandaq Governorate’s farms and rural cottages stand out, according to a report by the Saudi Press Agency. These farms, which are located throughout the region, have a variety of trees and tastefully structured rustic houses that draw in the visitors.

The owner of one farm, Othman Hassan Al-Zahrani, explained that the idea to restore his farm originated in 2022.

Al-Zahrani rebuilt his farm’s agricultural terraces and planted various fruit-bearing trees, including pomegranate, almond, lemon, kumquat, apricot, peach, flat peach, fig, and blackberry. In addition, coffee and samples of some rare trees were also planted.

Many locals in Baha have also focused on restoring their farms and transforming them into tourist sites. Their efforts emphasize local heritage while aligning with Saudi Vision 2030 under the Saudi Green Initiative.
