    Right place to take you back in time the history of Tabuk. Entry is free and tourist are warmly welcomed. All historical rooms are well illuminated and ventilated. Detailed description of each monument is printed in both Arabic and English language. A nice place to visit if you're in Tabuk.

    This ancient castle is one of Tabuk's most-popular historical landmarks. First established in 1559 AD, the castle underwent a complete transformation in 1993. Decorated with stones from the outside, the castle is now a museum that features gorgeous historical artefacts from the Ottoman era.

    It was probably more of an outpost guarding the route from Damascus to Medina. Small fortification with few rooms albeit well preserved. The water spring and adjacent water ponds have historical significance; being related to The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

    (Translated by Google) Tabuk Castle Originally it is Abbasid castle The ancient Tabuk Citadel or the Sulaymaniyah Citadel is called after Suleiman the Magnificent, who ordered its renewal and rebuilding The stone used in its construction is trimmed stone The castle is next to Ain al-Sukkar, which the Messenger visited in the ninth year of the Hijra The reason for the name of the eye of sugar is due to the sugar plant that was growing around this castle The castle consists of two floors and contains 20 rooms in addition to two mosques Wintry and it's inferior Summery which is upper Like other castles in the Ottoman Caliphate, there must be a well in the middle of the castle The castle has a single gate and fortified to protect it from the enemies, and it has two holes at the top that are used to bring down the oligarchs or pour boiling oil in order not to be stormed At the top of the castle are hatches used for observation as well as for defense of the castle as well The castle is distinguished by its presence on a high place in the city of Tabuk, which makes it easy for it to monitor the enemies And the last renewal of the castle was in the year 1063 AH (Original) قلعة تبوك في الأصل هي قلعة عباسية وتسمى قلعة تبوك الاثرية او القلعة السليمانية نسبة إلى سليمان القانوني الذي امر بتجديدها واعادة عمارتها الحجارة المستخدم في بناءها هو الحجر المشذب القلعة بجوار عين السكر التي زارها الرسول في السنة التاسعة من الهجرة وسبب التسمية لعين السكر نسبة لنبات السكر الذي كان ينبت حول هذه القلعة القلعة تتكون من دورين وتحتوي على ٢٠ غرفة اضافة الى مسجدين شتوي وهو السفلي صيفي وهو العلوي كباقي القلاع في الخلافة العثمانية لابد من وجود بئر ماء يتوسط القلعة القلعة لها بوابة واخدة ومحصنة لحمايتها من الاعداء وبها فتحتين بالاعلى تستخدم لاسقاط القلة او سكب الزيت المغلي لكي لايتم اقتحامها في اعلى القلعة فتحات تستخدم للمراقبة وكذلك للدفاع عن القلعة ايضاً القلعة مايميزها وجودها على مكان مرتفع في مدينة تبوك مما يسهل عليها مراقبة الاعداء واخر تجديد للقلعة كان في العام ١٠٦٣ هجرياً

    This museum depicts how the locals struggled  to protect their property, which gave Tabuk its value and pride. What a fascinating place. It is a privilege to travel back in time to a time when people fought to protect and preserve the place they loved.
