Hegra
Hegra, sometimes referred to as Madain Saleh or Al-Hijr, was designated as Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. It is renowned for its collection of over 110 intricately etched rock tombs that depict historical events. Visitors are allowed to come who wish to explore the region and gain knowledge about the customs, history, and culture of one of the greatest Nabataen civilizations still standing.
Apart from the excellently maintained tombs, Hegra is a unique historical site with continuing archeological excavations turning up discoveries such as mud-brick adobe homes. Besides, its ruins attest to its former thriving metropolis and rich cultural diversity. Views into the architecture and the history and way of life of the people who lived there can be obtained from the excavation site.
Al Wahba Crater
A geological wonder tucked away in the center of Saudi Arabia. Al Wahba Crater is an eruption crater on the Harrat Kishb basalt plateau, situated roughly 250 kilometers away from Ta’if. Al Wahbah rater has a depth of 250 meters and a diameter of 2 kilometers. Although it was once believed that a massive meteor hit the earth and created a crater, more recent research indicates that volcanic activity was really responsible for the crater’s formation.
One of the most amazing natural wonders in Saudi Arabia is the breathtaking Al Wahba crater. Bring sufficient food and water before arriving at the location, as the travel takes four hours from Jeddah. Travelers who want a closer view must cross a short trail to reach the crater’s base. Because of the crater’s slick surface, it takes approximately two hours to get back from the base.
Empty Quarter (Rub Al Khali)
The greatest area of the Arabian Desert is found in Saudi Arabia’s Rub al-Khali desert. The territory of the Empty Quarter is roughly 250,000 square kilometers and this region is home to numerous tribes. The idea that these towns have not just maintained but also prospered in such a harsh climate is amazing. A few of these cultures still live in the desert today. Visitors must first hire a guide to explore the desert. The most alluring pastime for visitors is driving across the wide desert.
Dunes rising two thousand feet high sea level can be found in the western portion of the desert, whereas the eastern portion of the desert has lower elevations, around 600 feet. Empty Quarter is one of the world’s harshest deserts; it is deserted and has only been partially explored. Beneath the desert sands are substantial oil deposits. This is where the world’s largest oil field, Al-Ghawar, was founded in 1948.
Wadi al Baida (Wadi al-Jinn)
Thirty kilometers northwest of Madinah is the anti-gravity hill known as Wadi al-Baida, often referred to as Wadi al-Jinn. It is known for its reverse gravity, which makes it a mystery location that attracts thousands of visitors from around the world. Lots of people visit this beautiful park stay for a couple of days and explore. The valley’s residents thought that Jinn was present there, which is why cars moved without needing to press the accelerator in an upward direction. Even when you turn off the power the car will still climb.
Geological specialists claim that the other parts of Saudi Arabia also experience this reverse gravity. It is believed that this reverse gravity occurs naturally and is most common in rocky, mountainous areas. Residents of the area also reported hearing whispering voices requesting that visitors and locals leave. It’s not where you belong because it is one of Saudi Arabia’s most visited tourist destinations, and as scientists investigate, there are numerous additional theories.
