The ancient Al-Jawf region

​

The Northern regions of KSA are the most flat regions of KSA outside the coastal areas of the Eastern Provinces and the most isolated outside of the Rub' al-Khali. Nevertheless the northern regions have a lot of history and many ancient towns and villages such as Dumat al-Jandal, Sakaka and al-Shuwayhatiyah which is thought to be one of the oldest towns in all of Asia.

Anyone here from the Northern Regions? People from those regions of KSA are rare species. I mean people from Al-Jawf Region and the Northern Borders Region.

I have been to Jawf in Northern Saudi Arabia with my uncle who was a doctor there. I visited Jordan too.

That sounds very interesting brother. Unfortunately I have not visited neither the Al-Jawf Region nor the Northern Borders Region. Of course this is not the only part of Northern Saudi Arabia but I am still curious about the landscapes, countryside etc. That part of KSA has a very rich history. Lying next to the Levant, in fact some of the areas being part of historical Levant, and Iraq and in the middle of the regions/areas bordering the Red Sea and Gulf coastlines.

I have heard that the women of the two regions are supposed to be beautiful and pious.

So I am curious if any Saudi Arabian user here has ties to those two regions, be it family or ancestral ties or just having visited the two regions. I am curious to hear about their experiences.

Safari in the countryside of parts of Ha'il Province:





















The last two of my posts in this thread and the photos posted were taken by amateurs during trips. So not professionals.​

Friendly sheep:

Please take a look at my recent posts in this thread. We must promote our ancient and beautiful land much more and we ourselves are often ignorant about the beauty of our country.
