Taif, however you want it

Nestled in the majestic mountains of Saudi Arabia lies the picturesque town of Ta'if - a summertime haven for locals and tourists alike. At an impressive altitude of 1700 meters above sea level, Ta'if offers a refreshing escape from the sweltering heat of the coast. During the summer months, the town comes alive as the population doubles and even the king himself relocates here to beat the heat. But Ta'if is more than just a cool retreat - it's a city steeped in history and natural beauty. Archaeological sites dot the landscape, offering a glimpse into the town's rich past. And then there are the roses - fields upon fields of fragrant blooms that have been harvested for over a century to produce the finest rose water and oils. You can even visit the local factories to see how it's made! But the bounty of Ta'if doesn't end with roses. The town is also known for its organic produce, from juicy grapes to plump watermelons, all available for purchase in the bustling souks and markets.
