Rock Art in the Hail Region of Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia

Rock Art in the Ha'il Region is the fourth site in Saudi Arabia to be inscribed on the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites. The rock art consists of two sites with petroglyphs and inscriptions situated in the desert of the Ha'il Region: Jabel Umm mountain at the city of Jubbah 90 km northwest of Ha'il within the Nafud desert. Jabal Al-Manjor and jabal Raat at Al-Shuwaymis 250 km southwest of Ha'il on the border between the provinces of Ha’il and Medina. On both sites an ancient population left traces of their passings in petroglyphs on the rock's surface, holding 8,000 years of history.
