Al Bahah is a city in western Saudi Arabia, in the Hejazi region. It is the capital of the Al Bahah Region and one of the most visited tourist destinations in the Kingdom. It is bordered by over forty forests, including Raghdan, Al-Zaraeb, and Baidan, and has a good temperature. Al Baha is the administrative center for the Governor, local councils, and government ministries. The city of Al Baha, which receives special attention from the state, is rich in educational, tourist, and health facilities. It is the capital of the Ghamdi and Zahrani tribes in Saudi Arabia, and the native tribes make up the majority of its population.
Forests, animal regions, valleys, and mountains draw visitors from all over the kingdom and the Persian Gulf region to the province, which is noted for its beauty. The forests of Raghdan, Ghomsan, Fayk, and Aljabal, as well as numerous other historical and archaeological monuments, are examples of these places. There are more than 53 forests in the area.
Al-Baha is the homeland of the Ghamid and Zahran tribes and is divided geographically into three distinct parts: Sarah, which contains the high Hijaz mountains characterized by temperate weather and rich plant cover due to relatively high annual rainfall, Tihamah, which is the lowland coastal area to the west of the Hejaz, characterized by very hot and humid weather and very little rainfall on average, and the eastern hills, which are characterized by an altitude of 1,550 to 1,900 meters
Baljurashi is the province's largest city in terms of population and size, followed by Al-Mandaq. There are two major cities in Tehama: Qilwah and Al-Mikhwah. There are 18 tribes that branch out of the two main ones, Ghamid and Zahran. There are 13 settled tribes (who work in trades and agriculture) and 5 nomadic tribes in the province.
Many Saudi Arabian institutions already have a sizable international student population, as well as catering to the country's numerous expat families.

If you choose to work in Saudi Arabia after finishing your studies, you will probably certainly meet young professionals from a variety of cultural backgrounds.
