Medinah: Khaled Al-Tawil Medinah history researcher Abdullah Mustafa Al-Shanqiti lamented the significant neglect that has affected, according to him, a number of historical sites in Medina. Among these is the historic site of "Dhu al-Marwah," located 200 km northwest of Medina. According to the researcher, its importance is no less than that of the historic village of Rabdha, if not more so. Speaking to Al-Watan, Al-Shanqeeti pointed to the state of the landmark, which he described as an archaeological treasure awaiting further scientific research and study. Many of its features have begun to fade due to erosion, which has led to the disintegration of many of its parts. Furthermore, there are signs indicating that it was not spared by vandals, and some of its artifacts may have been removed from their natural location. Al-Shanqeeti, who called on the General Authority for Tourism and Antiquities to quickly intervene and utilize the site's features in its future tourism plans, wondered: How can such neglect occur in a site whose importance is emphasized by numerous narratives?
