AlUla Old Town Tour

AlUla Giant Swing
A new addition to AlUla’s Adventure Hub, this one is for thrill-seekers looking to add an adrenaline rush to their summer in AlUla. The AlUla Giant Swing is via ferrata-style rock climb involving ropes and ladders to the top of a canyon. From the edge of the canyon, adventurers will take a lead of faith from their harness and after being suspended in air for a heart-stopping drop, the giant swing traverses back and forth into the stunning canyon on the descent. The Adventure Hub is AlUla’s centre for all things adrenaline. Just off of Harrat Mountain Road is a café with lovely indoor and outdoor seating, an information desk for bookings and enquiries and a safety briefing area. From thrilling ziplines and suspended obstacle courses to the audacious ascents of rock climbing and the daring descents of abseiling, an AlUla adventure is one not to be forgotten.
