Riyadh is raising

Indeed. Riyadh is getting better and better for each year. Soon it will look like Dubai/Doha but with more green areas and a more beautiful nature surrounding it (Wadi Hanifa, big green plains nearby. plenty of wild oasis, volcanic desert, mountains, enormous sand dunes etc.) I just hope that Hejaz and other provinces will follow suit.

Can't wait to see the pearl of the Red Sea (Jeddah) emerging as well. It has a even bigger potential.

Volcanic crator ?

Meteor strike ?

Yes, as Arabian Legend told this is one of the many volcanic craters in Hejaz. The whole Hejaz region and it's mountains and varied landscapes is partly due to seismic activity in the area. This specific crater is the al Wa'bah volcanic crater some 200-250 km north of the city of Ta'if if I remember correctly.

There are several tropical/volcanic Islands in the Red Sea (both under Saudi and Yemeni control) that haven been created due to volcanic eruptions/seismic activity.

Even two years ago a new island was created in the Red Sea near the Saudi and Yemeni coastline after a volcanic eruption.

Mada'in Saleh was likewise a ancient Nabatean city and is now a World UNESCO Heritage Site. Most of it dates back to the 1st century CE but traces that date back to the ancient North Arabian kingdom of Lihyan, 6th century BC, can also be found.
