Al-Azlam Fort, Historical castle in Wadi Al Aznam, Saudi Arabia
Al-Azlam Fort stands 200 meters from the main road between Al Wadj and Duba, surrounded by palm trees in northwestern Saudi Arabia.
The castle was built during Muhammad ibn Qalawun's reign in the 13th century and reconstructed under Sultan Qansoh al-Ghouri in 916 AH.
The fort served as a station along the Egyptian Hajj Road, supporting pilgrims from Sudan, Central Africa, Morocco, Andalusia, and Sicily on their journey.
The structure covers 1500 square meters and contains multiple accommodation rooms, with limestone walls surrounding an open central courtyard.
Located 100 kilometers north of Al Wadj and 45 kilometers south of Duba, this fort marks a significant point on the proposed World Heritage Site route.
