Later this year will see the grand reopening of AlUla in Saudi Arabia, with rooms at the heritage and adventure tourism site increasing to 9,400 by 2035.
One of the world’s undiscovered wonders, the tourism destination AlUla, which is situated in the North West of Saudi Arabia and includes the kingdom’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, will reopen to residents in October.
The 250,000 year old site, developed by the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) will welcome visitors all year round, with some attendees of its annual arts festival Winter at Tantora already having been granted access to the archaeological sites. Guests to the site will be able to access the main heritage sites, cultural touring options and a range of adventure experiences.
“With the rebound of the travel sector undoubtedly starting close to home, KSA residents within a drive or a short flight of AlUla will get a head start on experiencing the raw, natural beauty and monumentality of landscapes in their backyard,” said Phillip Jones, Chief Destination Officer, RCU.
