Al-Rabadha, Archaeological site in eastern Medina, Saudi Arabia.
The settlement contains remnants of two mosques, a fortress, residential buildings, water storage systems, and ancient wells across its expansive grounds.
Established during the early Islamic period, Al-Rabadha grew into a major station on the Iraqi pilgrimage route during the Abbasid Caliphate until 931 CE.
The site features Islamic inscriptions, stone tools, glass artifacts, and jewelry that demonstrate the development of early Islamic civilization in central Arabia.
Located 200 kilometers east of Medina, the archaeological site includes preserved water cisterns and one functioning well from the original settlement.
The excavations revealed sophisticated underground water storage systems beneath building floors, demonstrating advanced architectural engineering for desert conditions.
