Haql was mentioned in Arab travellers’ and orientalists’ books as a water supply station.
Located 220 kilometers north of Tabuk city, the Haql Governorate boasts a moderate climate and diverse natural beauty, earning it the title of a “pearl” on the Kingdom’s coast, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
