أغلقت الجهة المختصة بمنطقة عسير، سوق الثلاثاء الشعبي في أبها وأعلنت أن مدة الإغلاق 60 يوما؛ لأعمال الترميم والتطوير وتحسين جودة مرافق السوق الذي يُعتبر أحد أقدم الأسواق الشعبية في عسير، ويقع في وسط المدينة، ويقدم مزيجاً فريداً من المنتجات ما يوفر للزوار تجربة تسوق تجمع بين الأصالة والعصرنة، ورحلة ثقافية تربط الماضي والحاضر، ما يجعله وجهة لا غنى عنها لعشاق التراث والمنتجات المحلية، فيما تم نقل مقر السوق إلى حي الهيام بشكل مؤقت لحين الانتهاء من مشروع ترميمه وتطويره.
وقال مصطفى بن عزيز، إن إغلاق سوق الثلاثاء، لأجل الترميم والتطوير حدث سياحي وتراثي واقتصادي، وكنت أتمنى أن يكون إضافة لمعالم عسير السياحية خلال موسم الصيف، إذ يبقى توقيت إغلاقه غير مناسب مع موسم الصيف، ومن يرى أن الوقت مناسب فقد نظر من زاوية أخرى.
من جانبه، يرى الإعلامي حسن القبيسي، أن سوق الثلاثاء يُعد من أشهر الأماكن التي يزورها المصطافون والقادمون إلى أبها، ويأتي إغلاقه لعمل التحسينات لكي يتوافق مع ما تعيشه المملكه بصفة عامة، ومنطقة عسير بصفة خاصة في ظل رؤية 2030، ربما كان التوقيت المناسب للتطوير.
وأضاف فهد مداوي، أن التطوير مهم لسوق الثلاثاء التراثي والتاريخي، والأهم أن يكون تطويره متوافقا مع تراث السوق، وألا تغلب عليه الكتل الخرسانية والبناء العمراني. ويختم سعيد قزعة بالقول: توقيت إغلاقه غير مناسب ولكن سنسعد بتطويره ليحكي ماضي وحاضر منطقة عسير. يُذكر، أن سوق الثلاثاء يتميز بحضور قوي للمنتجات الشعبية والكثير من المنتجات الأخرى، ويشهد إقبالاً كبيراً طوال أيام الأسبوع من المواطنين والسياح، وخصوصا يوم الثلاثاء؛ لاقتناء بعض التراثيات التي تشتهر بها منطقة عسير.

The relevant authority in the Asir region has closed the Tuesday market in Abha and announced that the closure will last for 60 days for renovation and development work to improve the quality of the market's facilities, which is considered one of the oldest traditional markets in Asir. It is located in the city center and offers a unique mix of products that provide visitors with a shopping experience that combines authenticity and modernity, as well as a cultural journey connecting the past and present, making it an indispensable destination for lovers of heritage and local products. Meanwhile, the market's location has been temporarily moved to the Hayy Al-Hayam until the renovation and development project is completed.
Mustafa bin Aziz stated that the closure of the Tuesday market for renovation and development is a significant tourism, heritage, and economic event, and he wished it could have been an addition to Asir's tourist attractions during the summer season, as the timing of its closure is not suitable for the summer season. Those who believe the timing is appropriate may be looking at it from a different perspective.
For his part, media figure Hassan Al-Qubaisi believes that the Tuesday market is one of the most famous places visited by vacationers and newcomers to Abha, and its closure for improvements is necessary to align with what the Kingdom is experiencing in general and the Asir region in particular under Vision 2030. Perhaps this is the right time for development.
Fahd Mdawei added that development is important for the historical and heritage Tuesday market, and it is crucial that its development aligns with the market's heritage and does not overwhelm it with concrete blocks and urban construction. Said Qaz'a concludes by saying: The timing of its closure is not suitable, but we will be pleased with its development to reflect the past and present of the Asir region. It is worth mentioning that the Tuesday market is characterized by a strong presence of traditional products and many other items, and it witnesses a large turnout throughout the week from citizens and tourists, especially on Tuesdays, to acquire some of the heritage items that the Asir region is famous for.
