Dawadmi town holds historical significance as one of the ancient human settlements located in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula.

Notably, faded images of large lions can be found, surrounded by remnants of mining operations and scattered stone rubble.

The drawings, writings and rock engravings represent one of the most prominent archaeological monuments in the Riyadh region, which occupies a strategic location in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula.

Survey studies conducted by the Heritage Authority of the Ministry of Culture revealed the presence of more than 35 important archaeological sites in the Dawadmi Governorate, some of which contain animal inscriptions, drawings and historical writings dating back to the Paleolithic, Middle and Modern Stone Ages, the most important of which are two historical inscriptions written in the Sabaean script in “Masil al-Jamh Mountains.” The first inscription dates back to King “Abu Karib As’ad,” one of the most famous kings of Himyar, in the first third of the fifth century AD, and the second inscription dates back to the year 516 AD to King Ma’ad Yakrib al-Himyari.

Its ruins are represented by rock facades bearing a group of faded drawings of animals, the most important of which are lions.

These governorates are adjacent to the northern part of the administrative scope of the city of Buraidah, which serves as the seat of the emirate of the Qassim region.

The name may have originated from the region's notable presence of samar and acacia trees, which produce a reddish substance reminiscent of blood.
