Al-baha: Al-Baha Winter Festival is witnessing increasing demand for winter camps and gatherings held across open areas, public parks, and rural farms throughout the region. Benefiting from Al-Baha's mild climate and mountainous landscape, these camps have become a popular destination for family gatherings and social events during the winter season.
