Aarif Fort is the oldest historical building in Hail city. It was built to protect the city from enemies. During Saudi rule, the fort was used for moon sightings and iftar cannon firing during Ramadan. Recently, the A'arif Fort was opened to tourists as a cultural heritage site.
Fort Aarif is a rectangular shaped castle that is built with mud and clay. It is located in the heart of Hail and was built in the 17th century AD. The fort occupies an area of about 440 square meters and is strategically located on top of a hill, making it visible from every point of the city. Located on top of Jabal Irf, the fort offers a magnificent view of the northern city.
The fort can be accessed through a gate on its southern side, where a small courtyard leads to the main entrance. Inside the fort you will find observation towers, windows, a living area, baths, a mosque and storerooms.
This castle is also notable for its large wooden doors with inscriptions engraved on them. Tourists can climb to the top of the castle to get a bird's eye view of the city and observe the farms, markets and neighborhoods around them.

It seems like you've provided a combination of names and locations. "Jabad" and "Raqqa" are names that could potentially refer to places, but they're also associated with other contexts. "Ar Riyad" refers to Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia. "Labdah" could be a variation or misspelling of a place name, while "Hail" is a city in Saudi Arabia.

The address format typically follows the convention of starting with the specific address or location, followed by the city, postal code, and then the country. So, if you're providing an address, it might look something like this:

Street Address: [Specific Address], [City]
Postal Code: 55425
Country: Saudi Arabia

For example:
Street Address: [House No. or Building Name], [Street Name], [Area Name]
City: Riyadh
Postal Code: 55425
Country: Saudi Arabia

If you need assistance with a specific address or location, feel free to provide more details, and I can help you further!

This is a nice historical place which you need to visit and see the building done naturally and beautifully very nice for the children to see the goodness in the day’s before. There is a lot of shops around and more to see you can also see the whole area from the to of the building so please come see Saudi Arabia and make sure you get the history of the Saudi people family orientated and hard working people.

None of the official information makes any sense. Maybe someone can help or am I missing something?

If the castle was constructed in 1260 AH (according to Heritage Commission website) - that is equivalent to 1844/1845AD as the Islamic year falls into two of the Gregorian years. That means it was built in 19th Century not 17th Century as all the website say. If it was 17th Century it would have been built in the 1600s which is down in the 1000s for AH calendar ....

This is an impressive ancient fort located in Ha'il. It is made of brick from mud and clay. From top you can get a city view of Hail. This is a very important historical preserve in Saudi Arabia.
