Description

Discover the magic of AlUla through the eyes of a local. This private tour is your gateway to explore Saudi Arabia’s hidden gem from the ancient tombs of Hegra, the country’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, to the modern marvel of Maraya, the world’s largest mirrored building. Your journey begins with a comfortable hotel pickup in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. At Hegra, step back in time as you walk among the Nabataean tombs, carved into sandstone more than 2,000 years ago (site transportation is by shuttle bus). Next, capture stunning photos outside Maraya, a one-of-a-kind building that reflects the surrounding desert like a giant mirror. As the sun begins to set, we’ll head to Elephant Rock, one of AlUla’s most iconic natural formations the perfect backdrop for golden-hour photography. We’ll also take a relaxing stroll through Old Town, where you’ll walk along narrow alleys once bustling with traders and pilgrims. Then, visit a peaceful palm oasis, and learn how local families blend Bedouin traditions with farming life. Throughout the tour, your local guide, born and raised in AlUla, will share real stories, insights, and history you won’t find in books. Whether it’s your first time in Saudi Arabia or you’re a returning explorer, this tour offers an authentic experience filled with culture, nature, and warm hospitality.
