The Thamūd (Template:IPAc-en; Template:Lang-ar) is the name of an ancient civilization in the Hejaz known from the 8th century BCE to near the time of Muhammad. The Thamud civilization was located in the north of the peninsula. Although they are thought to have originated in Southern Arabia, Arabic tradition has them moving north to settle on the slopes of Mount Athlab near Mada'in Saleh.
Numerous Thamudic rock writings and pictures have been found on Mount Ath-lab and throughout central Arabia.
