The mystery of maiden Saleh in Saudi Arabia

Madain Saleh is, like Petra in Jordan, a very remarkable city.  

Madain Saleh is an old city in Saudi-Arabia. It is a sister city of Petra, built by the Nabateans more than 2000 years ago. It is located about 400 kilometres to the north-west of Medina and 500 kilometres to the south of Petra. It is a city without houses, made up of only temples and tombs which all have been hewn from the rocks. The site is about 13 km long.

Madain Saleh is the most important archaeological site of Saudi Arabia.
