AlUla Old Town

This place is totally different than what you think, you will see in an Old Town environment. Is an amazing blend of modern design using old traditional things. In a mixture of colours and welcoming seating areas with diverse scenery

There is no parking. Should park at North Park or South, then take the free shuttle bus to and from. There are cafe, restaurant, local stores, exhibitions … sitting on the roof of the cafe and watch the stars in the evenings makes life relaxing.

Amazing area for people who like history. Has restaurants and AMAZING views. They have many stuff such as; clothes, jewelry, and date boutiques. I loved looking at the different types of dates. When you enter, a car will take you to the town.Then, the same car will take you back to the parking lot. I prefer going on daytime because it’s not really crowded, even thought it’s a bit too sunny. So don’t forget your sunglasses!

A fantastic area and must see if you’re in Alula. Fantastic restraunts and coffee shops to a shisha bar. Prices are expensive for Saudi (similar to London) but it’s a tourist hotspot that I would highly recommend it takes you back in time and is a fantastic experience. And a fantastic atmosphere. If you park in the north car park there is a free bus which takes you up but it is also an enjoyable walk. Also great to try out the new camera features on iPhone :)

Absolutely epic tourist area. Lots of restaurants, cafes and gift shops - all very original, each one in a different style!

Worth visiting around sunrise

Al Ula old town is a captivating historical gem, transporting visitors to a bygone era with its well-preserved mud-brick structures and ancient architecture. The site offers a rich glimpse into Saudi Arabia's cultural heritage, with intricate carvings and a labyrinth of narrow alleyways. The dramatic landscape surrounding the town enhances its allure, creating a unique and unforgettable experience. While some areas are undergoing restoration, the overall ambiance and historical significance make Al Ula old town a must-visit destination for those intrigued by the kingdom's past.

One of the spots you need to visit in Alula -- The Old Town... It's really amazing the way they have maintained or built the old structure attracting tourist..

Parking is a issue but the volunteers are there controlling the traffic and guiding you to parking space.... Really a good place to visit with family... Avoid visiting at afternoon as there is shade...

It's a-must-visit site in Al Ula. It will be free if you take a walk around the town by yourself. But you can also book for a tour with 70 riyals. The street is small so the parking is also limited but it's worth taking a long walk for it . Very traditional town of Al Ula

Don't miss the tiny alleyway just before sunset that leads to the small climb to the viewpoint. A quaint tourist spot with lots of old mud homes.

This UNESCO site is a must see if you are planning to visit Saudi Arabia. Book your tickets and tours early as the sites sell out very fast. The recreation of the old town in mud bricks mixed with the modern restaurants and art give a relaxed and inviting vide.

Very beautiful Old Town, historical place. Lots of souvenir shops, cafe shops, and restaurants.

Fantastic!!! Its so beautiful you are transported to a movie set... dont forget to go up the fort

Super cute and relaxing. We went during the summer so it wasn't crowded at all. Some restaurants were closed but in wintertime everything's supposed to be open. If you decide to visit Al'Ula in the summer like we did be prepared for the heat but the good thing about low season is that there's no crowd at all, no ques, no wrestling to get a table at a restaurant, no waiting for anything and the tours are basically just for you. They told us that in winter there are more things to do but it's super crowded and some tours are sold out way before the date of the tour itself. Everyone was super helpful.

It's an amazing place with beautiful views and good restaurants.

The old town in Al-Ula Governorate is one of the distinctive places I visited and it is characterized by its old and wonderful character. It is one of the favorite places for those who care about archaeological places. There are distinctive cafes, luxurious restaurants, shops selling traditional antiques, traditional clothes and many other shops that exist and the best times are the weekend as well as the winter season

Its a nice, ancient and clean environment. The whole city give a esthetic and lovely view.

Currently a calm and quiet empty. Great place to just chill and be surrounded by the local community and visit free art spaces.
