Something Around: A glimpse of Abha
In a business trip to Asir, at Abha in particular, and before heading back to the airport, I passed by AlFaraâ and took some photos. This short trip showed me how generous Abha is in its beautiful scenes and weather as I was able to see its sun, clouds, rain, and fog, in just few hours.
Penetrating the heavy fog, I came across the mountainous villages of tribal territories famous of farming including âAl Yazeedâ and âAssarhaniyahâ.
Speaking about the area, the driver said âagriculture has changed here; the orange taste is not like before, even the other corps are not as they used to be, itâs because of peopleâs envy.â
âPerhaps itâs because the life style has changed, or the people are not interested anymore in farming as before, or it may be the effect of urbanization on soil and the areaâ I replied.
âNo, nothing of those, itâs the Envyâ He insisted.
