Visiting SAUDI ARABIA'S Greatest Wonder, MADAIN SALEH (Hegra) 🇸🇦

Madain Saleh is arguably the greatest attraction (non-religious) for tourists visiting Saudi Arabia. Located close to the small northern town of Al Ula, this was the second largest city built by the Nabataeans after Petra over 2000 years ago. Its 131 tombs carved into the free standing rock of the Arabian desert is a sight to behold.

Prophet Mohammad (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him), when he passed by al-Hijr - which was the dwelling place of Thamood - said: “Do not enter the dwelling places of those who wronged themselves, lest there befall you what befell them, unless you are weeping.” Then he covered his head and hastened until he left the valley. Narrated by al-Bukhaari in his Saheeh from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him).

[@superlegomaster55]

@@joeplayz not really, they found buried bones and inscriptions (names of people buried there) for those tombs. And does not make sense they date from 100 BC to 100AD, and Thamud were before the Pharoh and Prophet Musa a.s. I think after Nation of AD, So makes no sense. Unless Thamud were from 300 BC to 100AD, I don't see how these are the dwellings of them.

[@martinmoore3969]

I visited this site in 2004, there was nobody there at all, apart from an old guy guarding the gate. Very atmospheric place, some Saudis consider that there is a curse on Madain Saleh and will not visit. Well worth the trip, I flew from Jeddah to Medina then hired a driver to Al-Ula and stayed in Bedouin style tents. Well worth a visit and a lot less commercialised than Petra in Jordan, another Nabatean settlement

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Sounds memorable - if you want to beat the crowds then Madain certainly beats Petra!

[@hawra8099]

[@symph2000]

I was lucky enough to visit that place 3 yrs ago when it was still desolate, almost no people around and no structures built. Back then, you could tour it by yourself, no tour guide, no performances, just its raw and natural beauty.

[@TsarGaming]

We made a road trip across Saudi Arabia way back before this place was declared as a Heritage site, in a 1995 corolla. We visited this place and parked our car right in front of those entrance doors. The security there did not allow us initially but after we told them we travelled for like 2500 kms to see this, they allowed us. We even had the option to enter the houses but chose not to because, in Islam we aren't supposed to stay at longer times at places were wrath of Allah has befallen. It was such a great experience, we didn't have any cameras with us (couldn't afford it) but the memories are still fresh.

[@TsarGaming]

Also, this place has been cleaned up a lot, when we visited this place, there was no path, we had to maneuver the car carefully so as to avoid getting stuck in sand.

[@talal2819]

[@awaleahmed8698]

It's amazing how much Saudi has changed the last few years. I left the country almost 7 years ago and visiting Madain Saleh was unimaginable. We've been taught in schools that we shouldn't visit for religious reasons as the people who used to live there were punished by GOD for their sins and not believing their prophet Saleh. But now people are going there for tourism and festivals where they have actors men and women reenacting the said punished people by God. Just incredible.

[@awaleahmed8698]

I would also like to thank you for this interesting tour, I just wished if we could see what's inside these giant structures.

In the 1980s I worked near Jeddah for over 4 years. The weekend comprised late Thursday afternoon and a Friday only. Went on some brilliant camping trips with our local Expat Bushwacker’s Group . We travelled far and wide in Saudi including the mountains (seeing eagles soaring in the valleys below was an amazing experience). Frequently travelled up the Taif Escarpment which in those days was quite daunting given the standard of driving by locals and state of the road! One of our best trips was to the Hijaz Railway with steam train still on its side and broken rails from when Lawrence blew it up and Madain Salah (compares favourably with Petra). In those there was no tourism or infrastructure . Slept outside under the stars and will never forget witnessing the sun rising over the Madain Saleh site. Tombs very beautiful and impressive . Loved it !!
