The '''Ruinous Sanctuary''' was an ancient Lihyanite sanctuary located northeast of [[Lion's Tomb]] in the [[Southern Wilds]], [[Al-Ula Valley]].

==History==
In the later 1st millennium BCE, the sanctuary was established at Dadan by the Lihyanites. Among its features were examples of Lihyanite sculpture, with [[Egypt]]ian and [[Greece|Greek]] influences, including colossal stone statues that are interpreted as local rulers, as well as a large stone basin, which was likely used for the worshippers' ablutions.<ref name= "DB Sanctuary Ruins">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[Database: Sanctuary Ruins]]</ref>

In the 860s, during [[Basim ibn Ishaq]]'s time in the region, he visited the landmark, already in ruins.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]''</ref>
