Ancient Temple in Saudi Arabia
I found this place after reading the Legend of Hiram Abiff, and thought that the location is very close to the description.
It is a huge complex of buildings and paths, you can even find few water reservoirs in the area. The whole place is rounded by the desert and covered by the sand.
The entry in Wikipedia for Al-Hasa says that this area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, due to its abundance of water, and the area around the oasis is filled with a number of archaeological sites.
