Tabouk is the provincial capital and is spread over an area of 104,000 square kilometers. The region's ancient history dates back to 1500 BC. It is believed that the region of Tabouk was the land of Madyan and Dadan mentioned in the Holy books.
During the prosperous Saudi era, Tabouk has became famous for its agricultural products, particularly flowers. The region's flower exports to Europe include gladiola, lilies and statices.
Tabouk's historic monuments include the mosque in which the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) performed his prayers during the battle of Tabouk. There is also the Tabouk fortress and the Hijaz Railway Station, the line used to link Al Madinah Al Munawarrah with Damascus during the Ottoman Era.

In sharp contrast to the beige and sand colors of its surroundings, the main color of Hail is green, in the form of vast date palm groves, wheat fields and vegetable gardens that carpet the broad valley floor.

While preserving its old forts and historic structures, as well as its traditions and heritage, Hail has rapidly moved into the modern era. It is now a thriving center of agriculture, industry and commerce, one which its inhabitants of even a hundred years ago could not have imagined. www.saudiembassy.net/publications/magazine-winter-98/hail.h |
