![You might think that living in Saudi Arabia is nothing but plain sand and buildings. Here are some of the natural wonders and historic places to visit. 1. Wahba Crater Wahba Crater is near Taif is this beautiful crater once thought to have formed after a meteorite. It is 250 m (820 ft) deep and 2 km (1.2 mi) in diameter. The bottom of the crater is covered with white sodium phosphate crystals which gleams in the moonlight. Geologist found out that the crater was formed by a volcanic activity. 2. Mada'in Saleh Mada'in Saleh is located near Al Ula, it is a settlement area that dates back to the time of Noah but before Moses. It has been occupied by Thamud people who carved their homes in the mountains. The Muslims believed that the city was destroyed and the people were punished by Allah after they started idol worship, the place has also earned the reputation of a "cursed place".

Wadi Al Jinn Wadi Al Jinn- Are you loving more folklores? From the Alibaba's cave another city where traditional believe there is jinn power in the valley. According to Arab News, the cars move uphill even without stepping on the car's accelerator. I think this could be dangerous if that is the case. But it was also said that the mountains in the area are magnetic hills that attract metal objects otherwise known as reverse gravity while others claim it is only an optical illusion that you are running uphill but that the road is actually inclined downwards.
