Inwas in baha working at the university last year. I left in May.

I will not sugar coat anything and tell you how it really is.

Forget what people say about it being beautiful. It's just bare mountains with no developed tourism.   Life is very difficult there for the following reason.

There is no public I repeat no public transport in the whole city and district even.  The only way you will travel is by flagging down local Saudi drivers who you can't sit with your whole family. Even this you will sometimes have to wait anything from 30 minutes to 1 hour for.

The weather is harsh in the winter it gets very cold and foggy. So foggy that you can't see infront of you a few feet. This stays for a few months everyday.

Baha is really one Main Street. There is no shopping mall. One tiny building with a few shops thy call mall.

Without a car you cannot do anything.

I had no way of getting to the hospital as it's on top of a mountain and remember there is no public transport.

You cannot walk up and down mountains because of the thin air. It's impossible.

Be mindful of these things before you decide to go there. In the summer the weather is plessent but that is of no use if life is hard.

Good luck
