Harrat Kishb

Harrat Kishb is a volcanic fields of historical importance located southeast of Madinah in Al Madinah Region, Saudi Arabia. The site features various stone structures and over 20 kite-like formations identified in recent archaeological surveys. These kites, differing from those in Khaybar, have shallow-angled guiding walls and utilize the natural landscape to enhance their effectiveness as animal traps. While their exact age is unclear, evidence suggests these kites were used over a long period, reflecting a sustained hunting tradition and landscape modification. The area also includes "meandering walls", considered some of the earliest forms of kite-like structures.
