I gave one star, because the artefacts from al-Faw in the National Museum in Riyadh are really impressive, so MAYBE the site also has some value. But as for now -DO NOT GO THERE. Do not even try. My travel mates almost punched me there, but they were gentlemen. So how we did not visit al-Faw? During our Sausi trip, we saw the sculptures in the museum, which really looked interesting, and even some reconstructed parts of a shrine - all from al-Faw.  I remembered the name from the tentative list. So I suggested to my friends, to take the longer road from Abha - so that we could stop at al-Faw and Himá. The road was loooooong. I tried to contact the saudi authorities to give some hint how to visit al-Faw, but they did not answer.  We were not discouraged, as - just a month after Saudi Arabia opened up for tourism - a lot of sites were formally closed, but absolutely accessible. We crawled into Jubba under the fence, visited Turaif quarter through a back door left unintentionally open, and Dhee Ain without any restrictions. So why not to try al-Faw too?  We tried to call the caretaker when we were there, but - surprise, surprise - did not answer the phone. Then we tried to look for holes on or under the fence. One looked good enough to send in our smallest thinest friend. She sneaked in - with the promise, that if she finds anything interesting, call us, and we try to deepen the hole under the fence to crawl in. After 15 minutes she came back, and told us, that maybe somewhere relatively far away, there was something, but totally covered by sand. In the meantime, two local guys arrived on a pickup, whose English vocabulary was limited to the iteration of NO-NO.  So we went on to Riyadh. To sum it up: DO NOT GO THERE!!!!
