The historic Rughabah Tower (Marqab), the landmark of the village
This village may be small, with a smaller population, but it is located in the middle of the desert north of the province of Riyadh. It is part of the Al Thadiq town. Although it may be small, visiting here is never an empty-handed trip, for it has plenty of stories to tell, historically and traditionally, not to mention the landmark of the ancient travel path trails and old house ruins in the ancient settlement of the town.
At a distance of about 125 km north of Riyadh City center, it takes the visitor a two-hour drive, which is enjoyable because it allows the visitor to view the sprawling multi-colored facet and formation of the plain desert land, a golden mountain of sands, gulley, and riverbeds.
It is best to visit this town during winter to avoid the searing heat of the sunlight at a high temperature during the summer.
