AlUla is one of the very few places in the world where one can experience the feeling of a true explorer charting the unknown. AlUla was historically located on the Incense route. It was the capital of the ancient Lihyanites (Dedanites) and is well known for archaeological remnants, some over 2000 years old. Later in the evening we proceed to Alula Old Town. With its labyrinth of tightly packed streets, hundreds of mudbrick buildings, and a colossal watchtower fort, Old Town is one of Northwest Arabia's most impressive heritage sites. Stroll among the ruins and you can feel a palpable sense of its history as a once-thriving settlement along ancient trading routes dating back almost a millennium. Walk along Old Town Market Street and follow in the millennia-old footsteps of the merchants who once traversed this ancient trade route. A historic marketplace still thrives here today, where you can browse everything from local handicrafts to elegant antiques, shop for souvenirs or just enjoy a freshly squeezed juice and a pleasant stroll. Later we proceed to visit Al Jadidah, a vibrant cultural hub, Al Jadidah is home to restaurants, shops and more. Beautiful murals bring an artistic touch to the pedestrian-friendly area, where the world’s largest hand-painted carpet lines the road for visitors. Find five distinct squares, Art Square, Gathering Square, Muayada Square, Qanat Square, and Oasis Square, each with their own unique atmosphere. Centrally located, Al Jadidah sits adjacent to AlUla Old Town, beautifully overlooking the AlUla Oasis.
