Jabal al-Nour

In the Muslim religion, Muhammad received his first revelation from God on this mountain.

Reviewed By Fatima_Alsawad94 - Salalah, Oman

A nice walk with my husband and child, great views all the way up, encountering many stalls and gift shops from start to finish and, once you reach the top of Jabal Noor you see the cave of Hira - limited in size and space with a nice view of Mecca and the sight of the new clock tower - once able to see the Kaaba from there but now with the new construction and buildings not possible, its nice view to visit night time before fajr.

Black Stone

This holy stone is the eastern cornerstone of the Kaaba, the ancient stone building towards which all Muslims pray. Many Muslims believe that the stone (originally white but now black from absorbing the sins of man) fell from heaven during the time of Adam and Eve.

Reviewed By AIKAPP - Karachi, Pakistan

The Black Stone, al-Ḥajaru al-Aswad, "Black Stone") is a rock set into the eastern corner of the Kaaba, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is revered by Muslims as an Islamic relic which, according to Muslim tradition, dates back to the time of Adam and Eve. The Black Stone was originally a single piece of rock. It is surrounded by a silver frame which is fastened by silver nails to the Kaaba's outer wall. Polished smooth by the hands of pilgrims. Islamic tradition holds that it fell from heaven . Muslim pilgrims circle the Kaaba as a part of the tawaf ritual during the hajj and many try to stop and kiss the Black Stone, emulating the kiss that Islamic tradition records that it received from Muhammad.[SAW] Muslims do not worship the Black Stone.

One of AlUla’s most famous settlements is Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, carved tombs are from around 2nd century BCE until 106 CE.

Madain Salih is not only Nabataean tombs. Yes, they are wonderful(but closed til about October 2020). It's the whole region, actually vast parts of Northwest Saudi-Arabia which is just a secret full of mountain desert landscapes of incredible beauty. And you have it for yourself! It's easy to rent a car (we took Hanco in Tabuk, one way rentals easily possible) and explore Saudi-Arabia on your own. Do it asap, because now you can feel like a pioneer! Saudi-Arabia is perfectly safe, amazingly cheap and its people incredibly hospitable!

Edge of The World

Reviewed By dfoodgoddess - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Edge of the world is a must to visit if you are in Saudi Arabia. The best time to visit is during winter. We stayed overnight, stayed inside the tent, make some campfire to make us warm, a portable stove is a must to cook something fast, hot water for hot drinks, and instant noodles. Yes, it is safe to stay overnight if you are with a large group of people, those who love photography will truly appreciate the beauty of sunset and sunrise. The majestic views of the cliff will make you feel enchanted, such a beautiful place, I was charmed by the mystique beauty of the edge! And don't forget 4x4 is a must and don't visit during hot season.

Damn! I would have never thought I'd see a dam in Saudi Arabia lol! This was a beautiful place with some very nice views and I am glad I took the time out to go visit. It's probably one of the highlights of Abha and definitely worth seeing if you haven't yet. Very quiet and peaceful place.
