Ḥaʼil Province, Administrative region in northern Saudi Arabia.
Hail Province stretches across the desert landscape in northern Saudi Arabia, encompassing several settlements, mountain ranges, and excavation sites within its boundaries. This administrative region sits between the major centers of the kingdom and connects different areas through its road network.
The region formed an independent emirate before 1922, when it was integrated into the emerging Saudi kingdom. Stone tool discoveries at An Nasim show that people have been settling here for roughly 350,000 years.
The province maintains deep connections to the Shammar tribe, whose members represent a substantial portion of the regional population and contribute to local traditions.
The capital city of Hail serves as a transport hub with direct road links to Medina, Riyadh, and other Saudi cities. Travelers find accommodation and starting points for excursions into the surrounding desert and mountain areas in this center.
Archaeological excavations at An Nasim revealed stone tools dating back 350,000 years, establishing the region as one of the earliest human settlements in northern Arabia.
