Art & Culture
AlUla is an ancient oasis shaped by thousands of years of history, where remarkable heritage sits alongside a growing contemporary cultural scene. At its heart, Hegra, Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to more than 100 monumental Nabataean tombs carved into the sandstone landscape, while nearby Jabal Ikmah preserves ancient inscriptions that reveal centuries of life and exchange.
Beyond Hegra, the mudbrick houses and winding streets of AlUla Old Town reflect more than 800 years of settlement. Today, traditional craftsmanship, the creative spaces of AlJadidah Arts District and contemporary landmarks such as Maraya add a new chapter to a destination where culture, history and landscape remain deeply connected.
