Philipp Peterer Profile
I started focusing my trips on WHS in 2008. Since I leave in Europe, I could greatly increase my count in the following years. Nowadays my yearly goal is to visit more sites than are added the same year.
My trips are usually rather spontaneous and I try to maximize the time I have available by adding as many WHS and TWHS as possible, preferably completing countries or regions in one visit. For efficiency, my preferred method of transport is the combination of airplane and rental car. I’ve been driving a car in more than 50 countries, including Lebanon or India.
A major obsession of mine is to visit WHS with good weather conditions. I move or cancel trips if the forecast is bad. I also have a “revisit needed” list and travel back to WHS, where I had, sometimes due to bad weather, an unsatisfying visit.
In the upcoming years, I will shift my focus to more exotic and harder to reach sites. I also plan to keep up travelling with those community members that became good friends. No better way to celebrate a milestone or finding a hidden TWHS after navigating your car through rice fields than with fellow enthusiasts.

Recent Reviews Philipp Peterer
The Darb Zubaydah (Saudi) (T)
Philipp Peterer Switzerland - 21-Oct-24
Fayd is the most convenient location of this TWHS as its on route between Hail and Riyadh. Also an important one, as it’s halfway to Mecca from Kufa. So we also decided to visit Fayd. The visitor experience has improved a lot since Martina and Ivan were there. While the 2 wells described in the first review are visible from the fence, the palace is actually the main site to visit.
A big visitor center was built in front of the entrance, where the local guide Saud and the security responsible Fayez received us with the fantastic Saudi hospitality we had experienced throughout the country
Read OnThe Rural Cultural Landscapes of Sarawat Mountains (T)
Philipp Peterer Switzerland - 19-Oct-24
5 of the 7 proposed components are close to the mountain town of Abha (2270m). we covered 2 of them on the way to Rijal Almaa and of course Zee Ain.
Qura Qaradah
A small village close to Abha. The historic core is right at the beginning of the village and consists of a few historic buildings, some dry walls and a watchtower. This is your best bet from Abha I would suggest.
Rabea RufaidaWe struggled with this one. There is a old core with some old buildings (most of them in very bad shape) and also plenty of dry walls. Most of the walls however are not ancient, as they keep building them to create agriculture zones. We did not find the watchtower mentioned on the Unesco site
Read OnPrehistoric Stone Structures in Saudi Arabia (T)
Philipp Peterer Switzerland - 19-Oct-24
We visited the stone structures TWHS on our road trip around Saudi Arabia in 2024. We covered 2 of the 10 proposed locations and passed by several others.
Harrat Khaybar
Of the 10 proposed locations, 5 are Harrat (lava stone fields). When you look at our map with the dots it feels like no problem to find them, but it’s actually like finding a needle in a haystack. Nevertheless we are quite sure we (and I mean our fantastic navigator Randi) found the Harrat Khaybar location. After some small roads and a short hike up to a plateau we reached an area with a clearly visible wall, countless stone piles, some with an additional stone wall and stone circles. From the road it’s an unmarked hike and there is also no path. Some rocks are loose, so be careful.
Water Management in Saudi Arabia: The Ancient Dams (T)
Philipp Peterer Switzerland - 19-Oct-24
The Saudi water management is mainly dams, but also a few wells. We found 2 out of 3 dams we planned to visit. The 2 locations we did not go for were Al-Khanaq (wrong side of Medinah for our itinerary) and Al Hasid (we thought we covered the TWHS enough after the second dam).
Sadd Samallaqi (close to Taif)
The dam is marked on google maps as Al Samallagi Ancient Dam. Just follow google and it will lead you right there. The road is paved, but there are no signs mentioning the dam. It about 200m long and up to 10m high. You can easily walk on top. Next to the dam you can find some old wells. A local shepherd was kind enough to show me one I missed.
Al-Faw
Philipp Peterer Switzerland - 19-Oct-24
On our trip to Saudia Arabia we tried to visit Al-Faw in October 24 and did not succeed. The site is double fenced with the standard yellow ca. 3m fence with barb wire on top, the Saudis use to protect their cultural sites. The outer fence is is the problem. It’s minimum 200m from the site, which make it impossible to get to the core zone or even see more than a few walls. The building closest to the main street, about 200m from the fence, is a Ranger Station. Around 10 Ranger cars were parked there, so we tried our luck and went in. The ranger was very friendly, but would not let us pass even the outer fence under any circumstances. There are some info panels inside the station, but it’s clearly no visitor center.
