However, Al-Jouf province is also replete with archaeological sites and historical locations. The city lies south of the Northern Borders province and north of Hail and Tabuk. It has a 500-km-long border with Jordan in the west.

The province has not fully exploited its tourist potential.

However, a company has been set up to promote tourism projects in the province.

Daumat Al-Jandal provides plenty of potential to develop as a tourist hotspot. The quiet Daumat Lake is an ideal place for water sports and games. However, the place needs more hotels and amusement centers.

The archaeological attractions include the Zaabal Palace, Tel Al-Saei, the standing stones of Al-Rajajil, Burnus Mountain, Sisera Well and Hadrah Cave.

Al-Rajajil is a barren plain with groups of standing stones believed to be well over 5,000 years old. 

The tall thin stones, up to 10 feet high, have Thamudic inscriptions and are aligned to the sunrise and sunset.

They are possibly the oldest human monuments on the peninsula. Al-Jouf was a significant stopover point on the trade route from Yemen to Mesopotamia. 

One trade route, the oldest land route in recorded history, ran from Yemen and parallel to the Red Sea coast through Madinah, Al-Ula and Madaen Salih.

It turned northeast to Al-Jouf and then north toward Damascus and Turkey.
