About Columns of Rajajil

The Columns of Rajajil (Arabic: أعمدة الرجاجيل) is an archaeological site of sandstone pillars in the Al Jawf Region of Saudi Arabia, dated to the Chalcolithic period approximately 6,000 years ago. Sometimes popularly described as "the Stonehenge of Saudi Arabia," the site comprises 54 groups of trimmed stone pillars, each group containing between two and 19 pillars, distributed across a wide sandy plain in the Qara suburb southeast of Sakakah. Some columns reach over three metres in height and bear Thamudic inscriptions.
