Why visit?

Dates Sabya to early 14th AH as official notices do, not earlier than the evidence.

Sabya Castle stands by the avenue, inside today's King Fahd Park. Official notices: high rooms, volcanic stone and brick, fabric of the first third of the 14th AH / early 20th century. That is stylistic/administrative dating, not a 1301 plaque.

It is not Abu Arish, and not an older Mikhlaf keep unless a survey shows an earlier layer. The pin is exact for the present work.
