Tabuk
Tabuk, the largest city in northwestern Saudi Arabia, sits at the northern gateway to the Arabian Peninsula and is surrounded by some of the region's most significant archaeological sites — including remains associated with the ancient peoples of Thamud, Midian, and the Nabataeans, as well as tombs linked to the Prophet Shu'ayb. A historically important trade and pilgrimage corridor, the city also serves as a base for nearby coastal and mountain terrain.
