There are around 300 wells in the village of Laynah, Saudi Arabia which were dug by the Jinns under the authority of Prophet Sulaiman عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ.
When Prophet Sulaiman عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ was heading to Jerusalem to conquer Yemen, he and his army stayed in the village of Laynah to rest.
The story behind the Wells
When his army felt thirsty, they started searching for water but could not find any. At this moment, one of the jinns laughed and said, “I laugh for the thirst of people and they are on the sea.”
This meant that there was water underneath the village and Prophet Sulaiman عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ ordered the jinns to dig wells in order to obtain water. The Jinns then beat their stick on the ground and dug fresh water wells.

Are they really dug by Jinns?
The wells are located in rocky places where digging so deep is almost impossible for humans.
Moreover, these wells are located in places higher than the rest of the land whereas wells are dug in plain lands, not on highlands.
Another interesting fact is that the diameter of some of the wells is less than half a meter which is very narrow. A person cannot go down to such a narrow opening to dig deeper.
