Dhi Ain ذي عين - a photo on Flickriver

            Dhi Ain is an archaeological village located in Tihama, western Saudi Arabia, about 20 km from Al-Makhwah Governorate and 24 km from Al-Baha. It was founded in the tenth century AH and is more than 400 years old.
 The village was built on top of a white mountain and is famous for the cultivation of bananas, lemons, peppers, basil and caddy, and handicrafts.
 The village includes many houses, consisting of two to four floors, a small mosque, and many forts used to defend the village and watch.
 The village is also among the ten sites approved by the Saudi government in November 2014 to ask UNESCO to include it on the World Heritage List in the coming years.
قرية ذي عين هي قرية أثرية تقع في تهامة غرب المملكة العربية السعودية، وتبعد 20 كيلومتراً تقريباً عن محافظة المخواة و24 كيلو متراً عن الباحة، ونشأت في القرن العاشر الهجري وعمرها يزيد على 400 سنة.
 بنيت القرية على قمة جبل أبيض وتشتهر بزراعة الموز والليمون والفلفل والريحان والكادي، والصناعات اليدوية.
 تضم القرية العديد من البيوت والمكونة من طابقين إلى أربعة طوابق ومسجداً صغيراً والعديد من الحصون المستخدمة للدفاع عن القرية والمراقبة.
القرية هي أيضاً ضمن عشر مواقع وافقت عليها الحكومة السعودية في نوفمبر 2014 لتطلب من اليونسكو ضمها إلى قائمة التراث العالمي في السنوات القادمة
