Pakistan Karakoram Highway Expedition
Pakistan
Tabuk, the northwestern province of Saudi Arabia, is a region steeped in history and natural beauty. It's known for its rich legacy dating back to the times of the Nabateans and the Ottoman Empire. Tabuk's landscape is diverse, from the Red Sea coastline with its stunning coral reefs to the majestic mountains of Al-Lawz. The area is also home to historical marvels like the Tabuk Castle and the ancient rock carvings of Maghaer Shuaib. In winter, the region transforms as snow blankets the mountainous areas, offering a rare sight in the desert kingdom. This blend of historical significance and natural wonders makes Tabuk a fascinating destination for those exploring the deeper narratives of Saudi Arabia.
Tabuk's historical city of Al-Bid’ is a window into ancient life, with mud-brick ruins narrating tales of days gone by. Once a thriving trade route stop, today it stands in quiet grandeur, with remnants of mosques, homes, and forts. The archaeological sites, like ancient wells and inscriptions, further enthral visitors. Walking amidst these ruins feels like retracing the footsteps of ancient merchants and settlers.
The historic Hejaz Railway Station, a testament to the Ottoman era, provides insight into the region's significant role in transportation and communication. Marvel at the old-world architecture, explore the restored train wagons, and visit the on-site museum which showcases artifacts, photographs, and stories from the railway's prime. This railway once connected Damascus and Medina, making it a pivotal link during its operational years.
The pristine Red Sea coastline near Tabuk is a diver's paradise. Venture into the azure waters to explore vibrant coral reefs, teeming with marine life. Dive spots here are less frequented than other Red Sea locations, offering a serene and untouched underwater experience. From colourful fishes to shipwrecks, the underwater treasures are both diverse and enchanting.
The Hisma Mountains near Tabuk are not just a treat for nature lovers but also for history enthusiasts. These rugged terrains are adorned with ancient petroglyphs, depicting scenes from daily life, hunting expeditions, and more. Hiking here is like flipping through the pages of a natural and historical tome, with each rock and inscription narrating a unique story.
Experience serenity at its best at the Ras Alsheikh Hamid Beach. The golden sands meeting the crystal-clear waters form a picturesque setting, ideal for relaxation. The relatively untouched nature of the beach ensures peace and tranquillity. Whether you wish to sunbathe, take leisurely strolls, or simply listen to the rhythmic lapping of waves, this beach is a perfect escape from the hustle.
The historic Tabuk Castle stands proudly, echoing stories of battles, trade, and pilgrimages. Believed to be constructed during the time of Prophet Muhammad, it underwent several renovations over centuries. The castle now houses a museum displaying artifacts, photographs, and manuscripts that shed light on Tabuk's rich history. Exploring its rooms, towers, and courtyards offers a deep dive into the region's past.
