Jubbah rock art

The rocky outcrops display 4000 petroglyphs depicting humans, animals, and geometric patterns carved into limestone surfaces across the ancient settlement.

The rock engravings date back to the Neolithic period when the region was a fertile grassland inhabited by nomadic groups of hunters and gatherers.

The petroglyphs document extinct species, hunting methods, and social rituals, revealing the daily activities of prehistoric communities in the Arabian Peninsula.

The site includes designated observation areas, guided tours, and interpretive materials that explain the chronological development of the petroglyphs through different periods.

The limestone formations preserve ancient engravings of wild cattle, horses, and camels that indicate significant environmental changes in the region over millennia.
