A sixth site in Saudi Arabia has been added to UNESCO's world heritage list.The site is home to one of the largest rock art complexes in the world.
Al-Ahsa Oasis, an Evolving Cultural Landscape, was the last site added the heritage list in 2018, according to UNESCO. "People who passed through the area between pre- and post-historic times have left behind a substantial collection of rock art depicting hunting, wildlife, plants, symbols, and tools used at the time, as well as thousands of inscriptions," the Saudi official news agency SPA said.
