Umm Daraj is a hill at the mouth of Wadi Saq, opposite al-Khuraybah in al-Ula. Archaeological notices describe three works read as religious, two round cisterns, and statue niches, in a Lihyanite setting. That is a survey reading, not a named temple on a plaque.
It is not Hegra / Mada'in Salih, and not Qasr al-Sani. al-Khuraybah is the Dadan layer. The pin is the hill's area.
