Riyadh: As pomegranates begin to ripen, Taif enters one of its most vibrant agricultural seasons, with farms transforming into popular destinations for residents and summer visitors. The pomegranate orchards stretching across the mountain slopes offer an experience that combines agriculture, tourism, and the local economy.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the pomegranate season is regarded not only as a harvest period but also as an integral part of Taif's agricultural identity. The governorate is renowned for its diverse seasonal produce, with the harvests of roses, grapes, mulberries, and pomegranates succeeding one another in a year-round agricultural cycle. This reflects the area's rich natural environment and reinforces Taif's appeal throughout the year.
During the season, farms remain active from early morning as workers harvest, sort, and prepare the fruit for market. Many visitors prefer purchasing pomegranates directly from the farms while strolling through the orchards and learning about traditional farming methods. This growing form of agritourism continues to attract families and visitors seeking authentic rural experiences.
