Saysad Dam

Historic stone dam surrounded by scenic valleys, offering peaceful nature and heritage views.

Saysad Dam (also known as Muawiya Dam) is a historic stone dam southeast of Taif, built with rectangular stone blocks over a natural water reservoir. Its calm reflective lake, framed by rocky hills and green valley vegetation, makes it a popular spot for hiking, picnicking, and photography, alongside its significance as one of the region’s many centuries-old water-management structures.
