ITINERARY
- Hegra, also known as Madain Salih, is a UNESCO World Heritage site in AlUla and the first in Saudi Arabia to receive this designation. It was the second-largest city of the Nabataean Kingdom, after Petra, and is famous for its monumental rock-cut tombs, which display intricate carvings and inscriptions. Dating back to the 1st century BCE, Hegra features over 100 tombs carved into massive sandstone outcrops, each reflecting the Nabataeans’ skill in architecture and artistry. The site also includes ancient wells and ruins of dwellings, providing a fascinating glimpse into the lives and beliefs of this ancient civilization. Hegra's remote desert location, preserved inscriptions, and stunning tomb façades make it a breathtaking and historically rich destination for visitors.
- AlUla Old Town is an ancient village in Saudi Arabia, dating back over 800 years, known for its mud-brick houses, narrow alleys, and traditional Arabian architecture. Once a vibrant stop on the pilgrimage route to Mecca, it showcases nearly 900 homes, 400 shops, and historic mosques. Visitors can explore preserved structures that blend Nabataean, Roman, and Islamic influences, offering a glimpse into ancient lifestyles amid breathtaking desert and oasis views. Recent conservation efforts have preserved its charm, making it a unique destination for experiencing authentic Arabian heritage.
- The oases of AlUla are lush, green havens in the desert, sustained by natural springs and ancient irrigation systems. They have supported life for millennia, nurturing date palms, citrus trees, and other crops. These oases create a striking contrast with AlUla’s rugged mountains and desert, symbolizing the area’s rich agricultural and cultural heritage.
- Elephant Rock, or Jabal AlFil, is one of AlUla's most iconic natural landmarks, featuring a massive sandstone formation shaped like an elephant with a long, arching trunk. Sculpted over millions of years by wind and water erosion, this rock stands dramatically in the desert, surrounded by a beautiful landscape of sand and other rock formations. It’s especially striking at sunset, making it a popular spot for photos and a must-see for visitors to AlUla.
