Rock Art in the Hail Region of Saudi Arabia

The rock art site spans over 2,000 hectares across two locations: Om Sinman mountain near Jubbah city and al-Manjor and Raat at Al-Shuwaymis.

Ancient populations left petroglyphs carved with stone hammers on rock surfaces throughout the region, documenting 8,000 years of continuous human presence.

The engravings depict horses, camels, hunting scenes, and human figures, representing the daily activities and social practices of early Arabian communities.

The Saudi Commission for Tourism maintains protective measures, including buffer zones and monitoring systems, while offering guided visits to the archaeological sites.

The rock formations at Shamli, 170 kilometers south of Hail city, contain detailed engravings of Arabian horses, demonstrating early horse domestication.
