Discover Al Ula - How to Visit Saudi Arabia's New Jewel of Tourism العلا Hegra (Madain Saleh) UNESCO

Saudi Arabia's crown jewel of tourism is Al Ula العلا - a small, ancient city in the northwestern corner of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. An ancient stop on the incense route, the UNESCO heritage site of Al Ula has been home to many different people including the Dedans, the Romans, and most famously, the Nabateans. The Nabatean Kingdom stretched from Petra in Jordan to Al Ula's Hegra (Mada'in Saleh/Madain Saleh) in the south.

In this video, we have the opportunity to visit Al Ula for the second time - after 5 years in which the government did extensive renovations in Al Ula to Old Town and the other sites including Jabal Ikmah, Dedan, and Hegra. We visited Elephant Rock, Old Town, and Hegra. Plus we camped out in the desert near Al Ula.

We share how to visit Al Ula and what it's like to take part in the tours right now!

جوهرة تاج السياحة في المملكة العربية السعودية هي العلا العلا - وهي مدينة قديمة صغيرة في الركن الشمالي الغربي من المملكة العربية السعودية. كانت مدينة العلا ، وهي موقع قديم على طريق البخور ، موطنًا للعديد من الأشخاص المختلفين بما في ذلك الددان والرومان وأشهرهم الأنباط. امتدت مملكة الأنباط من البتراء في الأردن إلى هجرة العلا جنوباً (مدائن صالح / مدائن صالح).

في هذا الفيديو ، لدينا الفرصة لزيارة العلا للمرة الثانية - بعد 5 سنوات أجرت فيها الحكومة تجديدات واسعة النطاق في العلا للمدينة القديمة والمواقع الأخرى بما في ذلك جبل إكمة وديدان وهجرة. قمنا بزيارة Elephant Rock والمدينة القديمة و Hegra. بالإضافة إلى أننا خيمنا في الصحراء بالقرب من العلا.

نشارك كيف نزور العلا وكيف تبدو المشاركة في الجولات الآن!

A B O U T U S

We’re Eric and Ashley, an American couple who has spent the last 5 years living and working in Saudi Arabia. We’ve traveled a TON in the time we’ve been here, but in the craziness of 2020 (and 2021), we decided to finally do some real exploring in the country we’re fortunate enough to call home for now.

As Saudi Arabia is finally opening up for tourism, we’re taking the chance to experience both the famous and off-the-beaten path the Kingdom has to offer. Our goal is to show you the uniqueness of the country and inspire you to set out on your own adventures – whether in remote corners of the world or just down the road from your home.
