Hegra is the most iconic historical site of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the first to be listed as a UNESCO Word Heritage, back in 2008. The Nabatean people were Arab merchants actively involved in the frankincense trade originating from ancient Yemen from which they gained their great wealth. The Nabatean Kingdom developed from the 2nd century BC until the beginning of the 2nd century BC.

The extensive settlement of the site took place during the 1^st century AD, when it came under the rule of the Nabatean king Aretas IV Philopatris (Al Harith IV) (9 40 BC), who made Madain Saleh the kingdom's first capital, before Petra, located 500 kilometres to the north.
