BURAIDAH: An iconic rock that stands as a symbol of love, drawing visitors from around the Kingdom and other Arab countries, has been given renewed life thanks to the Saudi Commission for National Heritage and Tourism (SCTH).
Antara’s Rock, located north of Uyun Al-Jawa in the Kingdom’s central region of Qassim, was named after the famous 6th-century poet and warrior Antara bin Shaddad Al-Absi, who used to meet his love Abla in its shade.
