Overview

Explore two of AlUla's most iconic locations in one magical journey. Jabal Ikmah is a tranquil desert canyon that holds one of the largest and most diverse collections of ancient inscriptions in Saudi Arabia. Wander through this open-air library carved into the rock and uncover the stories of past civilisations. Dadan, meanwhile, is the capital city of the Dadanite and Lihyanite kingdoms. Marvel at the remarkable stone-carved tombs etched into the cliffside, and explore what was once a powerful trading hub in ancient Arabia. Choose to be guided by our local Rawi storytellers, or explore independently with the support of our Heritage Rangers and audio guide.

Between 1 Oct and 19 Nov, the tour will begin at Jabal Ikmah Visitor Centre
