It features well-preserved monumental tombs with decorated facades dating from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD. The site also features some 50 inscriptions of the pre-Nabataean period and some cave drawings. Al-Hijr bears a unique testimony to Nabataean civilization. With its 111 monumental tombs, 94 of which are decorated, and water wells, the site is an outstanding example of the Nabataeans’ architectural accomplishment and hydraulic expertise.

Thousands of pre-Arabic inscriptions across numerous sites make AL Ula an important location in studying the Arabic language. A mountain north of the AL Ula Valley, AlAqra’a, features more than 450 early Arabic inscriptions. Naqsh Zuhayr, to the east, features one of the oldest inscriptions of the Islamic era — dating back to 24AH (644 CE).

Dadan was a caravan way station for many peoples, and one of the clues that AL Ula was truly a crossroads of civilizations is Jabal Ikmah, which was visited by those wishing to leave their inscriptions and offerings a route through AL Ula. Records kept here — in the form of hundreds of inscriptions and carvings lining the cliff faces and rocks — ensured that Jabal Ikmah would be remembered throughout the ages.
