Brushes and trowels are hard at work on everything from the necropolis to the vast sanctuary dedicated to the Dadanite god Dhu-Ghabat, passing through the living quarters as well as the Islamic occupation area. Among other surprise discoveries, with the help of some professional climbers, researchers managed to uncover another sanctuary along the steep heights of Jabal Khuryabah, as well as forts from the Islamic period. On the ground in Dadan, we also encounter the architects and restorers from CRAterre, who are responsible for the overall conservation plan of the site, which is designed to welcome the public in the future.

THE FRANCO-SAUDI MISSION RESPONSIBLE FOR STUDYING THE DADAN SITE, CO-LED BY DR. JÉRÔME ROHMER (CNRS) AND DR. ABDULRAHMAN ALSUHAIBANI (KING SAUD UNIVERSITY), IS FULL

OF PROMISE.
