Overview

A trip to shiny dormant volcanoes

If you are an adventurer and a hiking lover, and want to reward yourself by reaching a place that amazes you by its nature after the long travel journey, pack your luggage, and prepare to go to the deepest and widest dormant volcanic crater in Saudi Arabia ,Wahba Crater , which is about 250 km away from Taif.

You will be astonished by the gleaming salt dome under the sun at the bottom of the circular Crater, where a water lake evaporates in the summer and turns into a sabkha while wild plants grow on its edges in the rainy season.
