On this tour of Al-Ula, we will explore the old town of this Saudi city, focusing on its history and the reasons for its abandonment in the 1980s.

Al-Ula Tour

At the specified time, we will pick you up from your hotel and proceed to the old town of Al-Ula to begin our exploration.

The historic center of Al-Ula, inhabited since the 12th century, features a labyrinth of narrow streets filled with stores and houses made of stone and adobe. We will uncover the town's origins and its economic prosperity due to its position along the "Incense Route".

The guided tour will also include a visit to an ancient castle and the legends that have been passed down among the locals.

Additionally, we will examine traditional Arab architecture and learn about the circumstances that led to the city's abandonment at the end of the 20th century, when residents relocated to modern Al-Ula, only 6.2 miles (10 km) away, for better infrastructure.

After an hour of sightseeing, we will conclude the tour by returning you to your hotel.
