Zaabal Castle in an ancient castle situated north of the city of Sakaka. It is a wall built of stone and mud, which protected the city from invaders, and the people there relate mythical stories about the resilience of this fortress in the face of attacks by enemies who wanted to occupy the city due to its strategic importance. The castle is more than 900 years old and has undergone many renovations and restorations.

Al-Dula Heritage District is one of the oldest districts in the city of Sakaka. Evidence of this area beneath the Zaabal Castle still stands today with its mud walls and wooden doors. This district links the present generation with Al-Jouf's ancient past and its popular heritage.

Sesera Well is one of the ancient wells in the Al-Jouf province. Carved into the rock, the well is named after the Canaanite military commander, Sesera. The well has undergone a restoration process and is of heritage and archaeological significance due to its integration with Zaabal Castle, in addition to the distinctive way it was dug.
