A historic station on the Hejaz Railway, which the Ottoman Empire built between 1900 and 1908 from Damascus to Medina to carry pilgrims. The line reached Tabuk around 1906, and the station became one of its most important stops in the northern Hejaz. The station has stone buildings with pitched tiled roofs and rectangular windows, in the style of Ottoman stations along the line; beside it once stood a water tower, a windmill and a small hospital for travellers. The station has been restored as a museum. Its highlights include a steam locomotive and an old carriage inside a restored shed. It stands near Tabuk Castle, so the two fit into one walk. Check the museum's opening times locally before you go.
