RIYADH: In the mountains of Baha, centuries-old stone villages are drawing visitors with their striking architecture and cultural significance.
Built from local rock, these traditional homes reflect the region’s architectural heritage and showcase how residents adapted to the rugged terrain and shifting climate, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

Thick stone walls offer insulation, small windows regulate indoor temperature, and their roofs are crafted from native juniper and sidr wood.
Villages such as Thee Ain and Al-Mousa still preserve these buildings, now popular tourist landmarks that offer a glimpse into traditional Saudi lifestyle.
