Madain Saleh
Madain Saleh, or
“Al Hijr” is the land of Thamud in the Al Qura valley. It is located north-east
of Almadina Almunawarrah city, which holds a strategic position on the olden
trade route that connect the southern Arabia with Mesopotamia, Levant and
Egypt.
Madain
Saleh was mentioned in the Holy Quran and the Holy Bible with reference to
Prophet Saleh. As the Holy Quran mentioned the people of Thamud had met
destiny, when they refused to accept the call of Prophet Saleh to obey God’s
orders, as it was described in the She-Camel story.
The amazing feature of this historical area
and its people is the way they have designed their houses, which were built in
a mountains, using no modern machines, where it is all a manmade.
