Continue your journey into the past with a visit to Jawatha Mosque, one of the earliest known mosques in Eastern Arabia. Located in the village of Al-Kilabiyah near Hofuf, this historic site—mostly in ruins—offers a profound look at Islamic architecture from the early days of Islam. Built by the Banu Abdul Qays tribe, this mosque holds religious and cultural significance, and it's a tranquil spot to connect with Saudi Arabia’s spiritual legacy.
