Read moreVisiting AlUla was an unforgettable experience, a place that truly lingers in the heart. Traveling with my colleagues in a 4x4 vehicle added an adventurous touch to the trip. We stayed in various hotels and enjoyed diverse culinary delights, each showcasing the warm hospitality of Saudi Arabia.
Upon arrival, the golden sandstone cliffs, vast desert valleys, and ancient rock formations create a surreal landscape. Every corner unveils something extraordinary — from the UNESCO World Heritage site of Hegra (Madain Salih) with its Nabatean tombs carved into rock, to the hidden date palm oases nestled among the canyons.
The Elephant Rock area offers a unique dining experience where you can savour a meal in the midst of this stunning natural landmark. The ambience there is truly unforgettable.
Al Ula is also evolving, with new hotels and shopping spots on the horizon to enhance the visitor experience. During our visit, we enjoyed a futuristic automated bus ride, a striking contrast to the ancient surroundings.
Festivals and cultural events bring Al Ula to life with traditional music, dancing, storytelling, and local crafts, creating moments that photos can’t capture. Under the star-filled desert sky, those experiences become cherished memories.

Read moreShould have proper information for the trip in Al Ula. We took Ride bike in hegra and bus trip to jabal Ikram and D..(forgot the name). We booked the ticket online and don't know where to go. Directly go to Jabal Ikram and luckily we got information to the pickup point from the tourist police after long time journey from Madinah. For Old Town also we don't know which area to pay and which area is free. And difficulty for buying the ticket in d counter because most of the time is sold out although you came early in d morning. This is my second time came here, luckily i got ticket to hegra and jabal ikram through the online this time. So don't know when will come back for fort town due to sold out of the ticket. So who ever want to come here please purchase the ticket online especially on the weekend. If you drive park your car at Kudu parking. The shuttle bus will bring you from Kudu to old town. And when you want to go back to parking place, ride the bus from drop point (same area drop point when u come to Old Town). Nice area for tourists. Hopefully will more organized and more information...
