Al-Thumamah (Шаблон:Lang-ar), alternatively spelt as al-Thumama and pronounced as ath-Thumamah, is an arid lowland desert area situated in Wadi Thumamah at the edge of al-Armah mountains in the northeastern fringes of Riyadh in Riyadh Governorate, Saudi Arabia.[1][2][3][4] Named after thumam (Шаблон:Lang-ar), the Arabic word for desert bunchgrass, it is located approximately 50 miles from Riyadh and is known for hosting outdoor recreational places, most notably the Thumamah National Park.[5][6][7] The first census of the area was conducted in 1981 during the reign of King Khalid.[8]
Archaeological findings
Recent archaeological excavations in the area trace the settlement's early existence to almost 8000 years during the Neolithic period.[9][10][11]
