Surrounding the Hima Wells is a cultural rock art area, covering an area of 557 kmu00b2 and containing 550 rock art panels, which feature hundreds of thousands of petroglyphs and inscriptions.

  • Wadi Najran is one of the largest valleys in the Arabian Peninsula, and its tributaries come from the Sarat mountains and hills surrounding the area. It extends 180 miles to the east from its mouth in the plains where it ends in the sands of the Empty Quarter.

  • The Emarah Palace is located in the center of the city of Najran. It was built on the site of an ancient well in 1944 (1363 H), a few years after the Province joined the Saudi Kingdom. Its first purpose was to host the new governor, its companions, the telegraph post, and the police. It is undoubtedly the most sizeable historical building of the Province with its 625 square meters and 65 rooms. It is open to the public and comprises a museum telling the story of the Palace.

  • AlOkhdood Archaeological Site is an ancient South Arabian town located in Najran Province in Saudi Arabia, southeast of the present-day city of Najran. Currently in ruins, the town dates back to at least 500 BCE and was formerly a hub for trading and commercial purposes. It is also famous for being the location where the Himyarite king Dhu Nuwas massacred the majority of the population of the city, which had converted to Christianity from South Arabian polytheism. This story is mentioned in the Quran!
