Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E tū motuhake ana, e karapotia ana e te koraha nui, koura o te raki o Saudi Arabia, he pārae toka kotahi, kua takoto noa iho mō ngā rau tau. He kōrero pouri a Qasr al-Farid, 'The Lonely Castle' rānei, kāore i oti, kua mahue, e titiro ana ki waho i te wāhi i roto i te whenua nui, koretake. E whakapono ana kia hangaia i te rautau tuatahi A.D. a kei runga i tetahi o nga huarahi hokohoko tawhito tino nui, e hono ana i te raki me te tonga o te moutere o Arapia, kaore i oti te tohu ngaro.

He mea whakamiharo te āhua o te noho a Te Whare Motuhake i runga i ngā āhuatanga mō te 1,900 tau, ā, ka taea tēnei te whakaaro ki te āhuarangi maroke. Kei runga i te papa o mua o te Islamic kei Al-Ula, kei runga i tetahi o nga waahi hokohoko nui, e hono ana i te tonga o te peninsula Arapi ki te raki. I whakapuakina e Unesco te kohinga hitori whakamiharo hei waahi Tuatahi o te Ao o Saudi Arabia i te tau 2008. I hangaia e ngā Nabataeans ō rātau whare kohatu nunui mai i ngā wāhanga kotahi o...
