Go back in time
In AlUla, deep in the desert in Saudi's northwestern region, visitors can play out the fantasy of being an intrepid archaeologist for a day this winter. The area offers many insights into the past via its inscriptions, tombs and rock structures. Examining these artifacts, you can discover what was considered to be important to the Dadanite, Lihyanite and other civilizations. Similarly, rock formations tell the story of Saudi's ever-changing landscape.
What to Do
Messages from the past
Visitors can see thousands of inscriptions left behind by the early civilizations that passed through AlUla. But the most impressive writings may be found on the rocks of Jabal Ikmah. This site is considered to be the largest open-air library and dates as far back as the first millennium B.C.
Evidence of antiquity
Hegra, in AlUla, is the largest conserved site of Nabataean civilization south of Petra. It features well-preserved tombs with intricate facades dating to the first century B.C. AlUla’s rock outcroppings are also unique evidence of the past. One of the most popular is Jabal Al Fil, or Elephant Rock.
