Joined Atlas Obscura in 2026
Heritage-tourism operator based in the Al Jawf region of northern Saudi Arabia. I run small-group tours of the ancient sites around Sakaka and Dumat al-Jandal — the oasis known to the Neo-Assyrians as Adummatu — including Marid Castle, Zabal Castle, the Columns of Rajajil, Sisra Well, the Al-Dar'i quarter, the Umar ibn al-Khattab Mosque, the Dumat al-Jandal wall, and the surrounding desert and lava-field landscapes of Wadi Sirhan. My contributions here focus on practical, on-the-ground visitor information for the under-documented archaeological sites of northern Arabia. More at adumatu.sa.
