Jurash Archaeological Site
موقع جرش الأثري
The ruins of the central town of the Asir region in the early Islamic period, with surviving city walls, fortress foundations, and an ancient well.
موقع جرش الأثري was an important trading and administrative center in the early Islamic Asir region and was famous for leather processing. Located about 35 km east of Abha, the site retains city walls, a fortress, house foundations, and an ancient well. Archaeological excavations and protective fencing were carried out in recent years. The site is large but has basic facilities, making it suitable for visitors interested in archaeology. It can be combined with a visit to Bin Hamsan Village on the same day.
