2.      Madain Saleh:

It was one of the most famous and ancient historical sites in Saudi Arabia located in the northwest region of Saudi Arabia. In the time period of 1 century CE, it was built by the Nabatean Civilization and become the major center for trade and commerce. Numerous tombs, temples, and other structures are the specialty of this place. Unfortunately, this city was abandoned in the time period of 6 century CE and remained untouched until it was rediscovered in the 20 Century. Now at present time, it gained so much popularity in Saudi Arabia that it is added to UNESCO World Heritage Site. In my opinion, the tourist can explore this and fascinate by the Qasr al-Farid tomb which is the most elegant example of the Nabatean Culture. They can also explore many other sorts of things such as museums, tombs, etc. The best recommended time to visit this historical site is in the month of March and September.

3.Mount Uhud:

The Battle of Uhud is considered to be an important Battle in the history of Islam. This battle was the result of the tension between the two tribes and the Non-Muslims tribe’s attack on the Muslim army. It occurred on the mountain Uhud and it become a memorial sign of the battle. Then the mountain was modified as time passes due to an increase in the growth of Pilgrims and tourists visiting the historical site. In my opinion, Mountain Uhud is one of the most hiking destinations. The tacks of the mountain may show the view of the battle. The tourist will observe the sites where such epic conflict occurs.

6.Hajaz Railway Museum:

Hajaz Railway is a historical museum located in the Holy city of Madinah Saudi Arabia. It presents the history of the Hajaz Railway that travels from the city of Damascus Syria to the city of Madinah Saudi Arabia. It was a project that was developed by the Ottoman Empire. Unfortunately, it has to be shut down due to high costs and some construction issues and it remained closed till at the present. In light of my perspective, the museum vividly represents the remnants of Al Ula Station and shows them the importance of transportation in the religion of Islam.
