Driving a few kilometers around the old town of Raghbah, you will come across ruins of castles, walls, towers, dams and settlements.
Strongly designed deep and wide water wells were quite interesting to be found at each castle remains. Some of them with water.

The change in Saudi Arabian climate with more rain falls than before could be the reason that Raghbah's old structures are vanishing slowly.
Traveling to Raghbah is easy, but be patient to go to
the interior plains to get a real picture of the old city. Sights of scattered walls and other structures will be a gift of your travel
