Al-Magar is one of the Neolithic civilization that discovered in the Arabian Peninsula, particularly in Najd, Saudi Arabia. The early man had once lived in that area and practiced the art of agriculture and animal husbandry in this area before the desertification had actually begun or during the catastrophic event of climate change that ended with a large spread of desert across the country. The people who settled there lived in stone houses built with dry masonry. It is also proof that the Arabs were the first to tame the horse.
