    Al-Neqrah or Ma’dan Al-Naqra is a station on the pilgrimage route from Iraq to Mecca (Darb Zubaydah), where its ruins are located today in the Al-Qassim region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The area was linked to the past with the activity of mining and copper extraction. Today, the site includes archaeological remains, the most important of which is Al-Jafniyah Pool.
    The site is one of the elements included in the UNESCO Tentative List for World Heritage designation, The Hajj Pilgrimage Routes: The Darb Zubaydah (Saudi Arabia).
