City of Hail

Hail Province lies in the north-central Saudi Arabia bordering the provinces of Madinah, Tabouk, Northern Border, Riyadh and Qassim. City of hail, capital of the province, lies in the Waadi Hail surrounding Shammar mountain ranges. Hail’s historical significance has been unearthed by the findings of petroglyphs and archaeological excavations. The Great Sandy Desert, Nafud, on the northern borders of Hail and the rugged mountain ranges of Shammar was a contributing factor for the inaccessibility of the region by the foreign invaders.
