High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Wabar craters are impact craters brought to the attention of Western scholars by an explorer searching for the legendary city of Ubar in Arabia.The vast desert wasteland of southern Saudi Arabia known as the "Empty Quarter," or "Rub' al Khali" in Arabic, is one of the most desolate places on Earth. In 1932, a British explorer, Harry St. John "Abdullah" Philby, father of Communist spy Kim Philby, was hunting for a city named "Ubar," that the Qur'an claimed had been destroyed by God for defying the Prophet Hud. Philby transliterated the name of the city as "Wabar".Philby had heard of bedouin legends of an area called Al Hadida ('place of iron' in Arabic) with ruins of ancient habitations, and also an area where a piece of iron the size of a camel had been found, and so organised an expedition to visit the site.
