Where is Raum Castle located?

It is located on the top of Raum Mountain, in the southwest of Najran city. It was built at an approximate height of 1000 m using stones and clay, and its roof was made of cedar, tamarisk, and palm wood. It was adorned on the outside with adjacent and individual triangles, in addition to carefully built rock reservoirs at the castle's base, designed to collect rainwater through channels that flowed from the castle.

Raum Castle was built in 1929 as an observation and exploration point. It remained an observation point for security patrols until 1953. Afterward, it became a touristic and archaeological landmark. The castle overlooks the farms and villages scattered along the banks of Wadi Najran, such as al-Hudn, al-Mawfajah, and Zu al-Harith.
