For over 200,000 years, AlUla, an ancient oasis city in the northwest of Saudi Arabia, has attracted ancient civilisations, trade, pilgrims and travellers who came to take advantage of the abundant resources offered by its fertile oases. Today, AlUla is an eloquent symbol of a great heritage. This largely undiscovered region holds a timeless mystery, from its human history to its incredible array of natural wonders, including dramatic rock formations, sand-swept dunes and archaeological wonders, as well as a green, lush oasis that traces the lives of the ancient civilisations who built their cities here.
AlUla International airport (ULH) is easily accessed over Saudi gateway cities Riyadh and Jeddah, and also internationally direct from Doha, Dubai, Amman and Cairo. Key airlines are Saudia, Emirates/flydubai code share, Qatar Airways, Royal Jordanian and flynas.
