Al Namas and Tanomah are not frequently visited by tourists in Saudi Arabia as they don’t know the places to visit, tourist attractions, and things to do here.
What is the best time to go?
The weather in Al Namas and Tanoumah remains pleasant throughout the year so you can pick any part of the year to pay a visit to these places. It is most recommended during winter.
Al Meger Tourist Village / Al Namas castle

- It took 35 years to build the palace.
- 16 million Islamic decorations in the palace.
- It has 20 gates (not all open for tourists).
The castle is located on the highest point of the Al Namas region and provides an exotic view of the whole area.

Tanomah Waterfall
While visiting Al Namas, you cannot miss visiting the tourist attraction called Tanomah Waterfall.
It is actually an artificial waterfall in Tanomah but an associated small park and some rides for children make it a stop-over point for some time.

Dar Dahdooh
Dar Dahdooh located in Tanomah and only 30 mins drive from Al Namas is another worth visiting tourist place. However, keep in mind that the place remains open only 4 hours a day for tourists.

Souq Habasha (Islamic Site)
Souq Habasha is the place where Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to manage the trading activities of his wife Khadija رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ and hence people coming to Al Namas and Tanoumah should visit it.
There are certain monuments still present at that place that refer to the era of prehistoric Islam.
