lookout Mt Sooda. Trip to Habala Hanging Village - couple of hours. Trip to Turkish Fort - also couple of hours - fabulous views down a valley towards Yemen. Many older houses made of mud brick, with slates sticking out to fend off the water. Many nests in bushes of weaver birds. Most hotels will put on tours if enough people interested. One trip in August it actually hailed very hard!
Try driving down the road from near Jabal Sawda its insane-see picture, almost as good 'Monkey Road' heading to Mohayil or the road to Taif over the mountain range all the way.
