When the summer approaches holidays to Taif become one of the most popular choices for a domestic staycation amongst those living in the Hijaz area of Saudi Arabia. This is hardly surprising when summer temperaturs in Jeddah and Makkah can reach 50 degrees.
Taif in contrast has a gentle temperate climate as a result of its location 1700 m above sea level. However, a holiday in Taif is not just about escaping the summer heat. Taif holidays take you to a destination with traditional architecture and souks, stunning landscapes and scenery and wide tree lines streets.
