In the old days, Jubbah was the land of an ancient lake, it was also surrounded by the dunes of Al-Nafud al-Kabir desert and topped by sedimentary mountains on the West and South, called um sinman, Ghouta shuweiht, and Unayzah 

The Saudi Commission for tourism and national heritage has also requested the registration of the Jubbah site with its rock paintings, as well as the shuwaymis in the Ḥa'il area on the UNESCO World Heritage List for 2015, and approval has been granted for the registration of the rock arts in the Ḥa'il area in Saudi Arabia, specifically the Jubbah area, and so it was registered as one of the most important World Heritage sites.
