Amazing place also known as “Deira” or Old Town and it’s known to have 900 houses 400 shops and 5 town squares. It’s history goes back to 7 centuries and most of the stone mud-brick houses are still there.

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

The informative guided tours provide deep insights, making the experience both educational and awe-inspiring. With modern amenities seamlessly integrated, AlUla offers a comfortable and enriching journey for every traveler. A visit to Saudi Arabia would be incomplete without immersing oneself in the enchanting allure of AlUla Old Town.

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.

It's a really special place. The work that has been done here in such a short space of time is amazing. I walked through the narrow streets inside old Town for the first time. It's really a good experience. I'm looking forward to seeing more as the renovations move on!

This is a historical place with a lot of entertainment and cafés , love the Arabian hospitality and culture. You can blend in with the past and be in awe of the high hills beside. A must visit place . Best month to visit is Nov to Feb when it’s cold.

The Old Town in Al Ula is a location that should not be missed. They do trade and other activities here, where it was once inhabited. It transports you back in time as though you  had been present for thousands of years as  ancient people lived. Once you arrive at the parking lot, a shuttle  will take you there at no charge! Furthermore, everyone here is friendly and  accommodating.

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.

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.

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.

Saudi Foundation Day in AlUla Old Town was magical! The historic setting, the vibrant parades, and the festive atmosphere transported me back in time. A truly special way to celebrate the nation's rich heritage.

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

This place is very attractive😍 for recreation🏕۔ Going here, it seems as if one has come to an ancient village. After seeing the view here I am sure you will never want to leave here. But I would like to say one more thing that I have taken the pictures here at night due to my busy schedule.

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!

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...

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 :)

I give 3 stars for the potential. We basically saw only the main street with shops and cafes. Shops are tastefully done, no colorfull signs outside etc. However, the old town itself is off limits and you can see it only with some tour. Most of it seemed to be in a desolate state however.

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.
