Description

Your tour leader/driver will be there to meet you, holding a sign with your name. You don't have to search for them as they will be waiting for you and will approach you. Throughout your tour, your tour leader will be fully focused on you. Once you're in the car, your tour leader will discuss various topics, including the sights along the way and other interesting aspects of your tour. Begin your tour by visiting Hegra, also called Madain Saleh or Al-Ḥijr, which is an archaeological site situated in the AlUla area of Al Madinah Region in Hejaz, Saudi Arabia. The majority of the remaining structures date back to the Nabatean kingdom and make up the biggest and southernmost settlement following Petra, the capital. This site, previously known as Hegra, is the largest preserved location of the Nabataeans' civilization south of Jordan's Petra. It boasts well-maintained monumental tombs featuring adorned facades that range from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD. Additionally, it is worth noting that the Archaeological Site of Al-Hijr (Madain Saleh) is Saudi Arabia's first World Heritage property. Next, you can experience the beauty of Elephant Rock, a breathtaking natural formation that bears a striking resemblance to an elephant, with its trunk gracefully reaching the ground. This particular wonder of nature has become an iconic landmark in AlUla, and is also referred to as Jabal AlFil, among the numerous geological marvels in the region.
