About Al Ula
Surrounded by majestic rock formations and the vastness of the desert, the oasis city of Al Ula is rich in history and culture. Al Ula is also one of the most popular tourist attractions in Saudi Arabia. The ancient city ruins reflect the splendor of traditional North Arabian architecture and take you on a journey through time. Additionally, Al Ula serves as the gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage treasures of Hegra.
Hegra, also known as Al-Hijr or Madain Saleh, is the crown jewel of Al Ula. Here lie the remnants of the Nabatean civilization, with breathtaking rock dwellings and tombs that are over 2,000 years old. The impressive facades of these monuments showcase the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the ancient Nabateans.
Elephant Rock, located about 12 kilometers south of Al Ula, is a striking geological formation. This sandstone rock resembles a majestic elephant with its trunk raised towards the sky. It is a natural wonder and a beloved sight.
The old town of Al Ula is a historical treasure. With its well-preserved traditional architecture and ancient mud buildings, the old city offers a unique opportunity to step back in time. Stroll through the narrow alleys filled with restaurants and shops where you can experience the atmosphere of the past.
