Abha's Last Light and the Weight of Leaving

On my final full day in Abhā, I walk through the morning fog one last time, visit the Al-Muftaha arts district, and reflect on what it means to leave a place that has become home. We discuss the costs of living here, the reality of residency, and the quiet transition from summer festival season to autumn. ☕ Enjoying the show?
