This is the first national park to open in the country and features an area of around 620 square miles. For visitors, there are 67 campsites and 45 picnic sites in parts of the park, though the majority of the land remains wilderness and is home to over 300 species of birds.

Another area accessible by cable car is Green Mountain (Jabal Thera), named for the grass and green lights that decorate its facade. Previously used as military headquarters, the mountain was repurposed for recreation and features restaurants, coffee shops, and an internet cafe. Visitors are welcome to either hike to the top of the mountain or take a cable car and enjoy the scenic beauty of the valley below, as well as the cool mountain air, best enjoyed paired with a hot drink.

This small village is perched on the side of a very steep cliff face and used to be accessible only by rope ladder. Eventually a cable car was built to provide better access to the traditional village so visitors could enjoy the mountain views. Consequently the original inhabitants relocated to a more modern village below and Habala remains solely as a heritage village for tourism.

Dating back to 1927, this mud-walled palace remains a remarkable example of traditional Arabic architecture amidst a modern city. Converted into a museum, the palace houses a variety of local handicrafts and household items.
