AlUla

AlUla is an ancient city in the Hejaz region of northwestern Saudi Arabia that was once a prosperous trading center on the Incense Route. Caravans full of frankincense, myrrh, and spices used to stop in AlUla. Powerful kingdoms such as the Nabataeans, the Dadanites, and the Lihyanites called AlUla home.

Today, AlUla is a wonderful mix of heritage sites from different epochs of history. It is home to monumental Nabataean tombs in Hegra, prehistoric rock art in Jabal Ikmah, lion tombs in Dadan, and a beautifully preserved mudbrick town in Old AlUla.
