Experience AlUla through the eyes of a local guide who was born and raised among its landscapes and stories. Instead of rushing through famous sites, I focus on sharing the culture, history, and hidden gems that make this place unforgettable.
Your journey is private (except for the official Hegra tour managed by the site) and flexible—you can spend more time where you love, stop for photos, or explore places most visitors miss. From the ancient wonder of Hegra (guided or with an audio guide via site shuttle bus) to the modern beauty of Maraya and the charm of Old Town, every stop has a story waiting for you.
Join me for a warm and authentic experience filled with hospitality, insight, and memorable moments.

5.00We did the AlUla cultural experience with Sarah as our guide and had a wonderful day. The scenery was just extraordinary and Sarah was a knowledgable guide who is passionate about the place and taught us a lot about the region while making it seem as if we were on a day out with a friend rather than someone we had just met. Fully recommend.

5.00We have a 6 year old son and so booked a private tour for added flexibility. Our tour guide’s name is Rasha and she was absolutely fantastic! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the region, history of Saudi Arabia from past to present, and current affairs of the country. We really enjoyed our short albeit sweet time with her and she was wonderful with our 6 year old son. We highly recommend Rasha for your private and personalized tour of Al Ula!

A short but sweet visit of AlUla, Saudi Arabia

5.00This was a wonderful experience and showed the very bests of Al Ula. My guide, Anood, an independent Saudi woman was fantastic! My flight from Riyadh was late. She thoughtfully designed the program and skillfully drove me to Hegra just in time for the guided bus tour. Afterwards, we visited the elephant rock under the moon, the old town, and had an authentic dinner. She even helped me with some shopping and dropped me off at my accommodation for the night for a reasonable additional fee. She went out of her way to call my accommodation the next morning and helped me with a lost package.
Fantastic experience
