Location of Assir Industrial City
The ‘Asir Region or ‘Aseer Region (Arabic: عَسِيْر, lit. ‘Difficult’ ʿAsīr) is a region of Saudi Arabia located in the southwest of the country that is named after the ʿAsīr tribe. It has an area of 76,693 square kilometres (29,611 sq mi) and an estimated population of 2,211,875 (2017). It shares a short border with the Saada Governorate of Yemen.
The ʿAsir Region is situated on a high plateau that receives more rainfall than the rest of the country and contains the country’s highest peaks, which rise to almost 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) at Jabal Sawda near Abha. Though data is exceedingly sparse and unreliable, the average annual rainfall in the highlands probably ranges from 300 to 500 millimetres (12 to 20 in). It falls in two rainy seasons, the chief one being in March and April, with some rain in the summer
The governor of Saudi Arabia’s Asir region, HRH Prince Turki bin Talal bin Abdulaziz, has allocated 17km2 of land for the construction of the second industrial city in Asir, which is located in the center of Al-Hafayr – 90km northwest of the kingdom’s Khamis Mushayt governorate.
