Khaybar, Ancient oasis settlement in Khaybar governorate, Saudi Arabia
The Khaybar oasis contains extensive agricultural lands supported by natural springs in the heart of the Arabian desert landscape.
Archaeological excavations revealed a 4,000-year-old fortification system stretching 14.5 kilometers around the oasis, constructed between 2250 and 1950 BCE.
The settlement represents early agricultural practices in Saudi Arabia, where farmers developed methods to cultivate dates and other crops in desert conditions.
The fortification walls, measuring between 1.70 and 2.40 meters thick and 5 meters high, enclosed a territory of 1,100 hectares.
Modern excavations uncovered 74 bastions along the remaining 5.9 kilometers of the ancient defensive structure, indicating advanced engineering capabilities.
