In this video, we explore AlUla, an ancient city located in the northwestern region of Saudi Arabia. AlUla is home to stunning landscapes, rich history, and unique cultural experiences. Our first stop was Maraya, an architectural marvel, consisting of nearly 10,000 mirrors. This mirrored building is the largest of its kind in the world and reflects the stunning desert landscape, creating a breathtaking optical illusion. Next, we will take you to Elephant Rock, a natural wonder that resembles an elephant. This unique rock formation is a popular spot for visitors to take photos and enjoy the stunning views in one of the many sunken lounges. For those looking for an adventure, 4WD driving in AlUla's desert is a must-try. It was certainly a thrill for us driving over sand dunes while taking in the views of the stunning rock formations. After a short visit at the Harrat Viewpoint, our next stop was the Oasis Heritage Trail, where you will experience the traditional oasis lifestyle of the locals. This historic trail dates back over 2,000 years and features stunning palm groves and historic buildings. We also visited the old Mudbrick Village, a fascinating cultural experience that showcases the traditional architecture and way of life of the local people. No visit to AlUla is complete without exploring Hegra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Saudi Arabia's most significant archaeological treasures. You will see ancient tombs carved into the rocky terrain and learn about the Nabataean civilization that once inhabited the area. Finally, we visited the Old Town, which features beautifully preserved buildings and a walking street full of rustic shops, cafes and restaurants, set against a backdrop of the dramatic scenery. We can definitely recommend a visit to AlUla. It is a unique and unforgettable destination that should be on everyone’s bucket list. We hope you enjoy this video and feel inspired to plan your visit to AlUla.

When Prophet Muhammad PBUH passed by this place while going for the Battle of Tabuk, he specially pointed this place “al-Hijr“ (Al Ula or Maidan e Saleh) out to his companions as an ibrat. He ordered them to drink water only from the one well used by the camel of Saleh A.S and forbade them to eat and drink anything from that area and pass through it rather quickly. Sahih al-Bukhari 4702 (Book 65, Hadith 224)

I’m Saudi, and honestly I haven’t visited Alula yet, so I ‘m surprised of some pretty cool things here in this video, although I know some of them but you guys show us a lovely, spectacular shots of Alula , THANK YOU ❤️❤️
So happy that we could show you the beauty of AlUla. Thanks so much for watching 😊
@a.asm1687 you shouldn’t visit Al-Ula. Muhammad (SAW) told us this is where the people of Thamud, the people of Saleh (AS) were destroyed. He said not to ever visit it and if you have to, to get where you want to go, lower your gaze. Subhanallah.
Translation:
@A.asm1687 يجب ألا تزور العلا. أخبرنا محمد (SAW) أن هذا هو المكان الذي دمر فيه أهل ثمود، أهل صالح (ع). قال ألا تزوره أبدا، وإذا كان عليك ذلك، للوصول إلى المكان الذي تريد الذهاب إليه، قلل من بظرتك. سوبهان الله.
Not allow Muslims to go,prohibited

Hope you enjoyed the trip. I would recommend some activities for your next visit such as the Tantora Winter Festival, Hejaz Railway Museum, the Opera show at Maraya Concert Hall, a hot air balloon, and a helicopter ride. It will be unforgettable memories. 😍
We had an amazing time. Would definitely like to come back and try the hot air ballooning. Thanks for watching 😊
Opera?? Is it is Jeddah or where?
The Maraya Concert Hall in Alual can host international productions from opera to ballets, shows and concerts.
The cutest family😢❤️❤️❤️
they certainly overuse the "cute". To be honest, it seems a bit condescending.
I would like to congratulate you for your clear effort in making this blog and reflecting the beauty of Al-Ula through it. It is one of the best video clips for my region😍. Yes, I am from the people of this region and this blog made me get to know you and work on subscribing to your channel because your effort in creating content and filming is very valuable, and I would also like to thank you for Your good taste in choosing beautiful and covering clothes that are in line with our customs and traditions. You are kind, comrades. Keep on creating. Welcome to Al-Ula and to all regions of my beloved kingdom, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ، I wish you a happy stay in Saudi Arabia 💚🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦
Thank you for watching and leaving this very thoughtful comment ❤ We are really enjoying our living here and our travels around the country. Happy we can show the beauty of the country and people through our videos ❤
It breaks my heart that I’m a 34 year old Saudi, and never been to this place. I’m not sure but I think it wasn’t available for the public until a few years ago. I’m glad my country is changing. Thanks for the video.
So happy you enjoyed our video! I hope you will visit these beautiful places. Thanks for watching 🙏❤️
@@naserhakki9489 It is open for all
dont wish to go there my friend i am quoting "When Prophet Muhammad PBUH passed by this place while going for the Battle of Tabuk, he specially pointed this place (Al Ula or Maidan e Saleh) out to his companions as an ibrat. He ordered them to drink water only from the one well used by the camel of Hazrat Saleh A.S and forbade them to eat and drink anything from that area and pass through it rather quickly."

You are respectable people, and thank you for clarifying the idea and council of other people about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I enjoyed the film, shooting, directing and editing. A must visit Riyadh, beautiful and worth the experience 🇸🇦
Thank you so much for watching 🙏
Prophet Muhammad saw dont even stay at al ula. HE EVEN move past it faster. Why KSA rebuilt it? Try to fight prophet?

Regarding the heads of the eagles that were on the graves in the past, the residents used to play with them and make them a target for archery. Unfortunately, they did not know the value of these relics. Their children used to practice archery and break them because it is a very small target and difficult to shoot down.
Thanks for the information
I love so much saudi Arabia 💖💖🇵🇰

Why arab rebuilt what prophet has forbid to even stay at there?
عائلة جميلة . نتمنى لكم اوقات ممتعه اينما كنتو ،، شكراً لكم ♥️
Thank you so much 😊
Welcome to alula, just a quick advice, the days that rain you dont get worry to get stuck in the sands, because it gets hard and car wont get stuck. But for other folks that want to do it by their own without local help, beware of the sand dunes and stick to the sand routes that are already meant to cars. Stay safe guys 😊
Welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦❤️❤️
2:25 Wow Ella looks like a real princess in that Arabian gown, but all she needs is is two beautiful "Odalisques" flanking her with peacock feather in hand fanning over her head 🦚😍 😀 You guys are Such an amazing beautiful family ❤

Once again another amazing video. I wish you would make longer videos, around 40ish minutes, 20 minutes is too short when you're visiting Al Ula. Looking forward to your next video, a fan from Toronto, Canada.
So happy you enjoyed our video! We could have made a 5 hr video with all the beauty we saw 😊
@@livingthejolife That's why you should upload a longer video or Part 2. You have amazing content but it's too short, I just felt like you're rushing in your videos.
