Al-Khuraybah
Al-Khuraybah is an archaeological site in the AlUla valley of north-western Saudi Arabia, identified as ancient Dedan, the seat of the kingdoms of Dedan and Lihyan. Excavations have uncovered a sanctuary with a large stone basin and monumental statues of kings, and the nearby cliffs contain rock-cut tombs, among them tombs marked with carved lions.
