One
of
the
ancient
city
of
Nabataean
people
living
here
in
this
part
of
Saudi
Arabia
long
time
ago.
The
Nabataeans
were
one
of
several
nomadic
Bedouin
tribes
that
roamed
the Arabian
Desert in
search
of
pasture
and
water
for
their
herds. They
emerged
as
a
distinct
civilization
and
political
entity
between
the
4th
and
2nd
centuries
BCE,
with
their
kingdom centered
around
a
loosely
controlled
trading
network
that
brought
considerable
wealth
and
influence
across
the
ancient
world.

As
a
visitor
in
this
place,
its
nice
to
see
that
this
place
is
still
intact
and
being
preserve.
But
some
of
the
sites
has
been
vandalized
with
people's
names
and
etc.
But
still
I'm
very
humbled
to
experience
and
see
this
place
in
person,
because
I
can
imagine
the
past
of
Saudi
Arabia
and
how
it
develop.
I
also
discovered
that
this
ancient
Arabs
are
sophisticated
people
even
pre
islamic
era.
This
part
of
Nabataean
kingdon
is
smaller
compared
to
Al
ula
or
in
Petra
city
in
Jordan
but
still
its
significant
is
big.
Because
it
will
gave
us
an
idea
about
the
reach
of
the
Nabataean
kingdom
and
how
they
manage
their
civilization.
We
visited
this
place
on
last
days
of
December
2020
at
12noon
it
is
still
hot
around
24
degrees
centigrade.
I
advice
you
to
visit
this
place
on
the
Middle
to
last
week
of
January
or
1st
week
of
February,
it
might
be
cold
obmn
that
time.
This
place
is
accessible
to
the
road
and
there
is
parking
and
a
museum
in
the
front
were
you'll
find
all
the
discoveries
in
this
place.
Dont
missed
this
historical
place
and
make
as
part
of
your
itinerary
when
visiting
Tabuk
in
the
winter.
