Tabuk Castle

Tabuk Castle is one of the stations on the Syrian Hajj route linking the Levant and the Hejaz. It was built in 967 AH (1559 CE) and restored in the reign of Sultan Mehmed IV, when renovations were added with ceramic tiles that are still at the castle entrance. It was fully restored and renewed again in the reign of Sultan Abdulmejid, son of Mahmud, in 1259 AH (1844 CE), and a special inscription commemorating this was placed in the mosque's mihrab. The castle was renovated again in the Saudi era in 1370 AH (1950 CE), and extensively restored in 1413 AH (1992 CE) by the former Antiquities and Museums Agency of the Ministry of Education.
