Jubbah rock art

Jubbah rock art is an archaeological site in the Hail Region featuring thousands of carvings on limestone surfaces depicting humans, animals, and geometric patterns. The engravings spread across the ancient settlement and show the craftsmanship of different periods.

The rock carvings began during the Neolithic period when the region was green and fertile, supporting nomadic groups. The shifts in depicted animal species point to major changes in climate and landscape over time.

The carvings show scenes from daily life in ancient communities, including hunting gatherings and social events that become visible as you walk among the rocks. They give you a direct sense of what mattered to the people who lived here.

The site has designated viewing areas with information boards that help you understand the carvings and follow their development across periods. It is best to bring plenty of water and plan your visit during the cooler hours of the day.

The carvings show wild cattle, horses, and other animals that no longer exist in this dry region today. These stone records tell a story of a completely different environment from what you see around you now.
