Hey guys,
So it looks like there is a possibility that my husband and I might be place in a Taibah campus situated in Al'Ula... I have googled it and it is really in the sticks...
Anyone been there while touring Saudi during long weekends? It is supposed to have a lot of dedanite and lihyanite ruins.
Anyone actually worked there lol |

Never heard of these two groups... had to google. You would have to be really into pre-history to visit their sites... tends not to be much to see. But they were at Madain Saleh before the Nabateans and left a little carving in a cave (maybe).
Where is Trap... maybe he knows something about Al'Ula... sounds remote. A bit scary when all you can find is references to its history with nothing on its present except that it seems to have a hotel... or maybe 2.
