Hello Chamika,
Abha is a wonderful place... All time cool weather + small town/city. There are car rentals available.. Starting from 50 sr till i guess 200 Sr but there is no taxi available but private taxis are available but be carefully about selecting a taxi.. If you are planning to visit with ur family better to rent a car from abha.. You can fly to abha or via saptco bus or by ur car.. if u wish to travel by ur car be careful roads having pin curves and crazy heights. Bus takes 15 Hrs + and you can find cheap fair for flights sometime around 300 sr ( Flynas ). Accommodation depends on u. starting from 100 Sr till 500 Sr.. If you are looking for a decent room ( Suite ) it will cost you around 200 Sr and you can bargain in prices cos they are not fixed they charge as per the ppl ( As Always ).

I Hope this helps you.. even if u get time visit Khamees mushaid which is 20 + km far from Abha.

Need more help feel free to msg me :)
