You arrive just as the morning light slices between angular ridgelines, and the Faifa Mountains open like a stepped green staircase. Air here is cooler than the coastal plain; terraces climb the slopes in neat bands, and the scent of aromatic coffee plants and herbs rides the breeze. Jagged basalt and volcanic ridges fold into narrow valleys, while distant views drop toward the Red Sea and the port city of Jazan.
