Al-Jowf Province, Northern administrative region in Saudi Arabia
Al-Jowf Province is a northern province in Saudi Arabia that stretches along the Jordanian border and combines desert expanses with large agricultural fields. The landscape shifts between sandy plains and cultivated valleys where olive groves and date palms grow.
Archaeological discoveries confirm human settlement in the region since the Stone Age, with traces of the ancient kingdom of Qidar among the findings. Trade routes drew caravans through the area for centuries, linking the Arabian Peninsula with lands to the north.
The region maintains its agricultural traditions through annual events celebrating olive production and date harvesting, which shape the local identity.
The province covers a large area, so a vehicle is necessary to travel between different sites. The best time to visit is between October and March, when temperatures are more comfortable.
The Columns of Rajajil stand in the province as prehistoric stone arrangements made from megalithic blocks, with their origin still under research. They rank among the oldest human-made monuments on the Arabian Peninsula.
