Zee Ain (Thee Ain) is a stone village built in the fashion of traditional villages from the region. Zee Ain is a model example of Saudi Arabia's approach to tourist attractions. It looks beautiful from a distance and should be one of the top attractions of the country - all stone, very photogenic on the slope of the mountain. I drove up to the village itself, left the car in a large parking lot and headed up the hill. There was a couple of tourists on the spot, and otherwise a complete void. No ranger, no souvenir seller, no signs of life at all! I walked freely between the buildings, but apart from stones and wood, there was absolutely nothing there - no written information. Maybe as part of the Vision 2030 something will change here, for now it looks a bit strange.
Zee Ain is located on the main road, so getting there is not difficult. From Zee Ain close to Jabal Shada, a wonderful nature reserve, one of Saudi Arabia's greatest attractions.
