About AlUla

AlUla is an oasis in north-west Saudi Arabia, with ancient rock-carved tombs, an old mud-brick town and sandstone cliffs shaped by the desert.

AlUla lies in a valley of palm groves in north-western Saudi Arabia, surrounded by sandstone mountains that the wind has carved into arches and pillars. Hegra, the first Saudi site listed by UNESCO, preserves more than a hundred monumental tombs cut into the rock by the Nabataeans, the builders of Petra, two thousand years ago. The tomb of Qasr al-Farid stands alone on the sand, carved from a single huge rock.
