South of Riyadh, Al-Aflaj was historically defined by seventeen springs that watered the town of Layla for centuries before running completely dry, and by Jabal Al-Tawbad, tied to the legend of Qais and Layla; the governorate's open data is almost entirely limited to this heritage layer.
A mountain tied in local folklore to the story of Qais ibn al-Mulawwah and Layla al-Aamiriya, with a cave said to have been their meeting place while herding sheep — located northwest of Layla within Al-Aflaj governorate.
One of Al-Aflaj's seventeen historic springs southeast of Layla, which flowed for roughly a thousand years before drying up; it is now a deep pit that calls for caution rather than an open visitor site.
A historic spring near Ayn Umm Jabal southeast of Layla, sharing the same fate — now completely dry and reduced to a deep earthen pit unsuited to direct visits today.
Another historic spring in the Al-Aflaj cluster, giving a sense of the scale of the old water network that sustained the region's farming life for centuries before it dried up.
