Najrān, Saudi Arabia
Kaaba of Najran
The Kaaba of Najran was a religious building of the Christian community of Najran and one of the Kaabas of pre-Islamic Arabia, located close to the river Nuhairdān. The building appears to have been converted from an earlier Kaʾbatān dedicated to Dhu Samawi, the great god of the city of Najran from the polytheistic era. It was burned down by the Jewish Himyaritic king, Dhu Nuwas, as a part of his famous massacre of Najran's Christians.
