  • AlUla is an ancient Arabic oasis city located in Medina Province, Saudi Arabia.
    Qasr al-Farid tomb in Hegra
    The immediate vicinity contains a unique concentration of precious artifacts, including well-preserved ancient stone inscriptions that illustrate the development of the Arabic language, and a concentration of rock dwellings and tombs that date from the Nabatean and Dedanite periods.
    Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hegra (also known as Al-Hijr, or Mada'in Salih), is located 22 km (14 mi) north of the city. Built more than 2,000 years ago by the Nabataeans, Hegra is often compared with its sister city of Petra, in Jordan. Meanwhile, the ancient walled city of AlUla ("Old Town"), situated near the oasis that allowed for its settlement, contains a dense cluster of mud-brick and stone houses.
