<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Weather of Arabia - In the heart of the famous Aja mountain range in Saudi Arabia, stands a figure resembling a human head known as the “Sphinx” mountain. This unique landmark in the village of Aba Al-Hiran, 120 kilometers southwest of the Hail region, has become a prominent tourist destination that attracts visitors from inside and outside the Kingdom. The Sphinx Mountain is distinguished by its natural shape that resembles a human head, and is a product of natural erosion and weathering factors that affected the rock over time.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> You may also be interested in:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D9%85%D9%83%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%AA-... | The mountains of Aja and Salma... purple mountains, watery springs, and charming dry valleys</a> </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><p lang="ar" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> “ <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/%D8%A3%D8%A8%D9%88_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%87%D9%88%... ” rock, in Hail, north-central Arabia <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D8%B9%D9%88%D8%AF%D9%8A%D...
