TAYMA:
Tayma is a large oasis with a long history of settlement, located in northeastern Saudi Arabia at the point where the trade route between Yathrib (Medina) and Dumah begins to cross the Nefud desert. Tayma is located 264 km southeast of the city of Tabouk, and about 400 km north of Medina.

AL-OULA:
The Al-Oula oasis (Also Deedaan), some 110 km southwest of Tayma (380 km north of Medina) in northwestern Arabia was located at the incense route. It was the capital of the ancient Lihyanites (Dedanites). It is well known for archaeological remnants, some over 2000 years old. The spectacular scenery is starting to draw in visitors.
