Itinerary

Your adventure begins with a comfortable hotel pickup in AlUla by your private tour leader/driver. No need to search for them—they’ll be waiting with a personalized sign and a warm welcome.

The first stop is the dramatic Harrat Uwayrid, a black lava mountain offering jaw-dropping views over AlUla. As you ascend to the top, prepare your camera for spectacular shots of the AlUla Oasis, Old Town, and Dadan Valley from above.

Next, immerse yourself in local history at the Abu Raeid Museum. This privately curated space features an impressive collection of archaeological items, tribal artifacts, and cultural exhibitions that paint a vivid picture of AlUla’s heritage.

Then, it’s time to meet AlUla’s superstar—Elephant Rock, or Jabal AlFil. Shaped by wind and time into a life-sized elephant with its trunk resting on the desert floor, this natural wonder has become an international icon. Your guide will take you to the best photo angles and share the fascinating geologic backstory.

The journey continues off-road with a 4x4 desert safari, where you can feel the thrill of cruising over soft sands. Then, unwind at a scenic desert campsite and enjoy the tranquility of the golden hour as the sun dips below the horizon.

Cap off your tour with a visit to Jabal Al Raqssat, a mountain adorned with prehistoric rock inscriptions and religious carvings. These ancient messages whisper stories from thousands of years ago, connecting you to the mysticism of the Arabian Peninsula.

Your guide will keep you engaged throughout the journey, sharing stories, facts, and local legends that make every moment more meaningful.

Finally, relax in air-conditioned comfort as you're driven back to your hotel in AlUla—refreshed, inspired, and with your camera full of memories.
