king fahd garden

The King Fahd Garden, with a total area of 175,000m sq, is the largest garden in Taif. It is designed for the recreation and enjoyment of the citizens. Facilities include children's playgrounds, sheltered seating areas, fountains and a Mosque. A lake, 7,200m sq in area, which features a waterfall running down from the hills, is spanned by a bridge.

Taif Camel Races

From August every year in Taif a series of camel races are run each weekend, culminating in the finals in mid-September.
We went up in mid-August, and watched an afternoon's worth.
The races are 5km wide on a track which people drive along beside.
It was noisy, dusty, hot, but really an awesome experience.
See my travelogue which has a full account of the day and more pics.
