Tour to Jabal Ikmah is part of the Dadaan and Imkah tour which needs to be pre booked on experience alula app or on website available at 60 SAR person. I visited Hegra and Dadaan tours along with my family and the experience of Hegra was something incredible. Of course, Dadaans have the history before Nabateens or Hegra civilization and believed to have existed from 7the century BCE upto 1st Century BCE. They used to live in the residential houses near by these mountain and their main occupation was agricultural. They dug few wells and carved rectangular tombs or graves inside the mountain and there are about 7000+ of these present in this area. Jabal Ikmah is located at a different place and has many inscription 2D and 3D ancient writings and pictures that show their existence in those times. Tour guide lady was very helpful to describe everything in English language. We get to make the inscriptions on the rocks at a small workshop at Jabal Ikmah. Due to summer and off season, there were only 8 visitors for this tour. We boarded the bus at winter Park meeting point and the bus left at...

الإيجابيات:

الموقع الجغرافي حسن الاستقبال حسن التعامل التنظيم وجود مواقف للمركبات كافية الجو العام

———————————————————————— السلبيات:

لا يوجد

————————————————————————

الانطباع:

يعتبر هذا الجبل جزءاً من تاريخ وحضارة مملكة لحيان، وهو أكبر مصدر معلومات عن الاقتصاد والتجارة والخراج والضرائب في مملكة دادان. يُردد أن فيها آلهة تُدعى "ذي غيبة"، ويعتقد أن اسمها جاء من صاحب الغابة لخصوبة أرض دادان. يرى الدارسون لهذه المنطقة وجود آثار أساسات معبد قديم. هو عبارة عن منطقة جبلية ينحدر منها وادي ضيق، وهو ذو لون داكن يميل للون الأحمر، وشاهق الارتفاع، يضم العديد من الكتابات اللحيانية على الواجهات الصخرية في الموقع، وتوثق هذه النقوش والكتابات تاريخ مملكة لحيان وحضارتها وتفاعلاتها المجتمعية وعلاقاتها الخارجية وتنظيماتها وقوانينها الداخلية، وهي قريبة من موقع الخريبة الذي عاشت فيه دولة لحيان. وجبل عكمة ، جبل شاهق، يميل لونه إلى الحمرة، يقع على بعد ثلاثة كيلومترات شمال غرب مدينة العُلا. يعتبر مكتبة المملكة العربية السعودية المفتوحة، لاحتوائه مئات النقوش والكتابات على المنحدرات والواجهات الصخرية التي تعود أساسًا إلى الفترتين الدادانية واللحيانية. تحكي تاريخ المنطقة، والحياة فيها، خلال حقب تاريخية مختلفة، وتعد سجلاً موثِقاً للحضارة اللحيانية التي ازدهرت في الجزيرة العربية والشرق لفترة تاريخية ليست بالقليلة.

(هناك عروض جميلة في المساء يتم حجزها عن طريق الموقع او مكتب حجوزات الأنشطة والمزارات في الحديقة الشمالية بالمدينة)

impression:

This mountain is considered part of the history and civilization of the Kingdom of Lahyan, and it is the largest source of information about the economy, trade, taxes, and taxes in the Kingdom of Dadan. It is said that there is a deity called “Dhi Ghaiba”, and it is believed that her name came from the owner of the forest due to the fertility of the land of Dadan. Students of this area see the presence of traces of the foundations of an ancient temple. It is a mountainous area from which a narrow valley descends. It is dark in color tending to red, and of high altitude. It contains many Lihyan inscriptions on the rock facades of the site. These inscriptions and writings document the history of the Lihyan Kingdom, its civilization, its societal interactions, its external relations, and its internal organizations and laws, and it is close to From the site of Al-Kharaibah, where the state of Lahyan lived. Jabal Ikma, a tall, reddish mountain, is located three kilometers northwest of the city of Al-Ula. It is considered the open library of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, because it contains hundreds of inscriptions and writings on the cliffs and rock faces dating back mainly to the Dadanite and Lihyanite periods. It tells the history of the region, and life therein, during different historical eras, and is a documented record of the Lihyanite civilization that flourished in the Arabian Peninsula and the East for quite a long historical period.
