Then you have remains/ruins of some of the first churches on earth such as the Jubail Church in KSA from the 4th century. Obviously not longer in use.

There are many more churches and dozens of other monasteries but I picked some of the most prolific ones.

@Zarvan

I already posted those photos many times. I don't have any good new ones due to the expansion work and due to the Mataf. The good ones are either posted in this thread or in the "Saudi Arabia in pictures" thread.
