قلعة لقمان, Ancient castle on Farasan Island, Saudi Arabia

The fortress stands on an elevated position with a defensive tower measuring over 10 meters in diameter, constructed using massive stone blocks.

Archaeological evidence indicates modifications to the central structure during later Islamic periods, as shown by pottery fragments scattered around the site.

The castle represents the architectural methods of past Saudi civilizations through its strategic positioning and construction techniques on Farasan Island.

The castle sits two kilometers from ancient village ruins and requires careful planning to visit due to its remote location on Farasan Island.

The fortress features enormous stone blocks measuring 150 centimeters in length and 60 centimeters in width, arranged in a nearly square configuration.
