On our way to Dammam and Al Judah we stopped at this landmark, Judah’s Thumb. It is also known as the Devil’s Thumb, although my sense is it gets its name from the local village, Judah. Referring to it as a thumb seems to be because it “sticks out [of the otherwise flat desert] like a sore thumb.”
Who knows. It was a nice place to stop.
