About 260 kilometers outside of Tabuk lies the valley of Wadi Al Disah, located in the Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Natural Reserve. The valley is famous for its mountainous terrains, lush palm trees, streams, and hidden hot springs.
Wadi Al Disah is also home to relics from the past dating back to the Nabataean Empire. Their ancient writings can be viewed etched all over the valley.

Located about 55 kilometers outside the city of Haql in the Tabuk region is the infamous shipwreck, sometimes dubbed as the ‘Saudi Titanic’. The shipwreck is located on a large bay, the beaches are gorgeous and the coastline extends as far as the eye can see. There is not much development surrounding the city, so this secluded beach makes for a great camping spot as well.
A small port city just outside of Tabuk, the city immediately takes you back in time to the early Islamic expansions. The area was described by scholars such as Ptolemy, referencing the trade route to Al-Ula. And by Sheikh Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi; when he recorded his journey to Makkah to perform Hajj in 1790.
The most prominent place in Duba has to be Al-Ozlam Castle, dating back to the early 14th century, and is a proposed world heritage site. It served as an important station serving to connect many pilgrims en route to Makkah and provided access for trade between neighboring countries. Hence, its significance was and still is of great value.
Another historical site would be the castle King Abdulaziz built after his conquest of the city, which was recently renovated using the same materials to preserve its original appearance.
