Sixty samples of different marble and granite tiles used as building materials, from local and foreign origins, were collected from different factories in the Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah region of Saudi Arabia. Natural radioactivity of the U-Th series and 40 K in the samples were measured using an HPGE detector to conduct gamma-ray spectrometry. From the measured ␥-ray spectra, the activity concentrations for different marble samples of Turkish, Egyptian, and Omani origin were 232 Th (0.10 ± 0.07, 0.9 ± 0.09, 0.31 ± 0.06 Bq/kg), 226 Ra (5.7 ± 0.3, 7.3 ± 0.40, 2.0 ± 0.1 Bq/kg), and 40 K (0.9 ± 0.2, 0.96 ± 0.1, 0.8 ± 0.09 Bq/kg),
