When I first arrived in Abha, I couldn't believe I was in Saudi Arabia due to the chilly weather in this city. It was entirely different from what I had expected. But after I joined King Khalid University, I felt a sense of calm and reassurance, seeing students from diverse countries and nationalities. What unites us all at this university is the pursuit of knowledge.
The university hosts expert academics who assist us in addressing any challenges we encounter in our studies, along with our beloved, cooperative peers.

I take immense pride in being the first student accepted from Central Asia at King Khalid University, which, based on its ranking, is among the most prestigious, superior, and dynamic universities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The university campus located in Al Fara'a is beautifully situated and provides all the facilities needed by a university in one place. You can find colleges, activity areas, administrative buildings, a hospital, and offices all in one location.
Moreover, Asir region is undoubtedly the most beautiful area in the Kingdom in terms of climate and tourist attractions. When I first arrived in Abha, I felt as if I was in my home country.

King Khalid University provides some of the finest higher education programs, extending a warm welcome to international students and offering support as they fully immerse themselves in Saudi culture. I have a particular fondness for the weather in Abha, with its generally temperate climate all year round. Abha is a wonderful blend of natural beauty and rich history. Affectionately known to Saudis as the "City of Fog," it offers a unique charm. The local people are friendly and welcoming, carrying a deep sense of pride in their culture. I am deeply grateful to all the staff at King Khalid University who have afforded me the opportunity to study at such a prestigious institution. It brings me immense joy to be a student at King Khalid University.
