Unaizah, Commercial hub in Al-Qassim Province, Saudi Arabia

The city spans across desert terrain at 678 meters elevation, featuring modern buildings, traditional markets, and agricultural fields producing dates and grains.

Founded in 1630, Unayzah developed into a major stopping point for Muslim pilgrims traveling from Mesopotamia and Persia toward Makkah.

The Date Season Festival in September presents regional agricultural products, making it the second largest date exhibition in the Middle East.

Three airports serve the region within 113 miles, including Gassim Airport at 19 miles, Zilfi Airport at 57 miles, and Dawadmi Airport.

Western explorer Charles Montagu Doughty named Unayzah the 'Paris of Najd' for its architectural design and regional influence.
