Description

Explore AlUla on a day trip from Medina – same day round trip Embark on an unforgettable tourist adventure from Medina to Al-Ula, in a modern private car for you and your family or group, with a driver and a comfortable vehicle. The journey begins in the morning with the car passing by your hotel in Medina, then heading towards Al-Ula, one of the most important tourism and heritage destinations in Saudi Arabia. Upon arrival, your tour begins in the old town of Al-Ula , where you can wander freely, enjoy the heritage atmosphere, and have lunch at one of Al-Ula’s local restaurants. Then continue to the Al-Ula oases, which contain more than 200,000 citrus trees that have been nourished and raised on the oasis waters. You will also wander among two million palm trees that depend on the oasis to supply Al-Ula with an abundant harvest of dates, estimated at about 90,000 tons of dates that we harvest at the end of each summer. After that, you head to the archaeological site of Al-Hijr (Madain Saleh) , the first Saudi site listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, to embark on a tour rich in history, civilization and Nabataean culture. The journey also passes by the famous Maraya Hall – the world’s largest reflective building – and the distinctive Elephant Rock , where you have the opportunity to take pictures amidst the desert landscape. The trip concludes in the evening with a return to Medina, after a day full of discovery, adventure, memories and photos. Take advantage of the opportunity and proximity to Al-Ula to see for yourself the historical monuments and stunning natural beauty of the unique Al-Ula region and why Al-Ula has become one of the main destinations for Saudi tourism at the present time.
