Heritage Authority Finds 1700+ Items at Miqat Al-Juhfa
The Heritage Authority has discovered more than 1,700 artifacts at the archaeological site of Miqat Al-Juhfa. The site, located along the Egyptian Hajj route, features pottery fragments, glass and stoneware, seashells, and jewelry, in addition to ceramic ovens and a water canal that likely served pilgrims. Thirteen tombstones dating back to the Umayyad and Abbasid periods have also been uncovered, along with artifacts from regions such as Levant, Egypt, and Abyssinia, indicating that pilgrims from various parts of the world have visited the Miqat. The site has been a fixed Miqat since the early Islamic era and holds historical significance as it was crossed during the Prophet’s migration (peace be upon him). The Authority’s excavation efforts aim to document and date its landmarks using advanced techniques.
