🇸🇦 Al Ula is Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in the middle of the desert. Little did we know, there’s tons of things to do and see in this region.
Here are a couple must-visit experiences:
📍Hot Air Balloon Ride
Float over Al Ula, admire its stunning rockscapes and catch an epic sunrise!
📍Maraya
This concert venue is the world’s largest mirrored building right smack in the middle of the desert! Still trying to wrap our heads around this one.
📍Sharaan Nature Reserve
A must for nature travellers, the Safari Tour takes you across the reserve to spot wild Oryx and Arabian Ibex.
📍Al Ula Old Town
We spent hours in the alleyways, cafes, and shops of this restored heritage site. These ancient streets have seen 800 years of modern civilisation!
📍Al Ula Adventure Hub
An all-in-one adventure center offering ziplining, abseiling, and the popular Giant Swing!
📍Elephant Rock
This 52-metre rock is an icon of the desert. Catch the sunset and chill with a drink in the pit-like seating areas on the desert floor.
📍Hegra
Explore well-preserved Nabataen tombs and learn about their historical significance!
