The Camel Carving Site is considered one of the most prominent archaeological sites of Prehistoric Arabia [1]. It dates to the Neolithic period of the Al-Jawf region in modern-day Saudi Arabia, specifically located in the eastern center of Sakaka Governorate [1]. The site "likely has the oldest known surviving large-scale animal reliefs in the world", differing in execution from the rock art common throughout Saudi Arabia [1]. The site is also considered among Saudi Arabia's oldest rock art sites, which typically feature two-dimensional carvings in both prominent and recessed styles [1].
