UNWTO Best Tourism Village
AlUla Old Town
In the second edition of the initiative, a new cohort of 32 villages from 22 countries across the world have been selected by an independent Advisory Board for this prestigious award. Celebrating this monumental achievement, an official ceremony will be held on 13 March 2023 in AlUla. Bringing together these 32 extraordinary rural destinations, this event aims to forge long-lasting bonds by sharing art, poetry, traditions and more.

AlUla Old Town
AlUla Old Town has 900 mudbrick houses, 400 shops and five rahbas, or town squares. Traces of original stone and mudbrick structures can be found at this remarkable site, with winding alleyways, windows glimpsing hidden lanes and roof-top terraces that only hint at the world within.
AlUla Old Town Village
A crossroads of civilisations and oasis city on incense-trading routes, people have inhabited AlUla for thousands of years. Today AlUla Old Town Village encompasses its fascinating mudbrick Old Town, the lush Oasis and vibrant AlJadidah Arts District.
