Marid Castle

Marid Castle is on the outskirts of Dawmat Al Jandal in northern Saudi Arabia.


The castle walls are made of mud which gives it a real organic look and reminded me of something from Lord of the Rings.






For anyone wishing to visit Marid Castle it is located in Dawmat Al Jandal at 29° 48' 41.21", 39° 52' 02.42" and is signposted (in arabic) through the town. It is free to enter but you may be asked to pay SAR20 to look at the rather tatty 'museum' by the entrance. There's a small archaeological museum on the other side of the car park.
