Like taking a walk back in time, the historic 400 year old town of Dhee Ayn is also known as the Marble Village. Built atop a majestic mountain in southwestern Saudi Arabia, Dhee Ayn is located south of the holy city of Mecca in a natural oasis of tall green palm trees, tunnels, and a peaceful waterfall.

Located in the small granite village is a lovely and well maintained museum. There are many steep steps which will take you to the castle at the very top of the village.
A big thank you to my friend, tour guide Mohammed at Najran Tours, for allowing me to showcase these photos for today's post. Visit his Instagram page @NajranTours

Fascinating and beautiful. The country has much to offer tourists.
That place looks simply magical. . .beautiful photos and narrative.
I love the first photo - it is so "romantic", like something out of a fairy tale.
What a fascinating place!
