Mada'in Saleh
is one of the best known archaeological sites in Saudi Arabia,
located in Al Ula (previously known as Dedan),
some 400 kilometers north of Al Madinah.

Mada'in Saleh was once inhabited by the Nabataeans some 2000 years ago,
Petra (located in Jordan) being the capital of the Nabataean kingdom.
The Nabataeans are of Arab origin who became rich
by their monopoly on the trade of incense and spices
in particular between the East and the Roman, Greek and Egyptian empires.

Mada'in Saleh has about 130 dwellings and tombs that extend over some 13 kilometers.
