The day begins before the sun climbs high: a minivan pulls away from your hotel, and the desert light sharpens the edges of stone as you head toward Hegra.

AlUla sits at an ancient crossroads: Dadan and Lihyan kingdoms preceded the Nabataeans, leaving inscriptions and rock art; Hegra later became the southern Nabataean necropolis and trading hub.
The Royal Commission for AlUla manages visitor access and restoration—stay on trails, avoid touching inscriptions, and minimize waste to protect fragile archaeological and desert ecosystems.
