Sakākā, often spelled Sakakah (Arabic: سَكَاكَا) is a city in northwestern Saudi Arabia which is the capital of Al-Jawf Province.
[citation needed] A big ongoing project is the 1,000-bed Prince Muhammed Bin Abdulaziz Medical City which is under construction.
[citation needed] The King hopes that Al Jouf University will become a pillar of social, cultural, and intellectual advancement in Saudi Arabia.
The fertile agricultural land of Al-Jawf is due largely to underground water, which drew delegates of King Abdul Aziz.
Sakaka is home to many Saudi families that can proudly trace their lineage to a few large, old tribes that have dominated the area since time immemorial.
