The ancient city of Dadan, or Dedan, or Dedân (spelling of the Jerusalem Bible), is located in the present-day oasis of Al-'Ula, in the northwest of Saudi Arabia, in Medina Province, about 150 km southwest of Tayma. Dadan was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lihyan. Because of its importance for the incense trade, it was later, at least from the 2nd century BC to the early 1st century AD, under the domination of the kingdom of Ma'in.
