Historically, a wonderful place to visit. However, when I visited initially 4 years ago, the actual well was uncovered and you could see it's original condition, but now it's been boarded around. I'm not sure what they're planning for refurbishment but I hope they don't lose the original look. The merchants there will charge between around 5 and 30 riyal for different sized bottles so you can fill up your own water. They have other little trinkets, too.
