Located in the northwestern part of Saudi Arabia, Tebuq is the capital of the country's Tebuq Province, close to the Jordanian border and on an important trade and transportation route. The city has a long history, dating back to ancient times, as a caravan station and military stronghold. The climate is dry and hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C in summer, but mild in winter.
The economy of Tebuc is based on agriculture, mining and tourism, and the surrounding oasis produces dates, fruits and vegetables. Mineral resources such as phosphates are available nearby. Tourist attractions include the Citadel of Tebuq, the Koranic site of Al-Bidaa, and diving areas along the Red Sea coast. In recent years, it has been promoted by the Saudi government as part of the "NEOM" megaproject, which aims to promote sustainable development and tourism.
The city's infrastructure is gradually being modernized, with an airport and highways connecting the main Saudi cities. Culturally conservative, it follows Islamic traditions and visitors are expected to respect local customs. Tabuk is being transformed from a historic town into a key economic hub in Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030.
