Description
Step beyond Hegra’s carved facades and explore the wider landscape that shaped this ancient Nabataean site. On this guided sunset hike, walk through a dramatic desert setting of sandstone outcrops and weathered formations while learning how geology influenced the history, layout, and character of Hegra.
Your experience begins with pickup from your accommodation and a private transfer to Hegra. After arrival, continue with coordinated guest support and prepare for a 1 hour 45 minute guided hike through the geological landscape. Along the way, a Rawi and a Heritage Ranger lead the experience, sharing insights into the natural forces that formed the terrain and the connection between the rock formations and the ancient site.
As the light softens toward sunset, take in the colors, textures, and scale of the surrounding desert. Vintage Land Rover transfers within Hegra add to the journey and help connect different parts of the experience. After the hike, pause for Saudi coffee and dates before returning to your accommodation. The experience finishes with a round trip transfer back to your stay.
