Visiting AlUla Old Town was an incredible experience, blending history, culture, and modern comforts. Walking through the beautifully restored streets, surrounded by traditional mudbrick buildings, felt like stepping back in time. The area is filled with charming cafés, restaurants, and boutique shops, making it a perfect place to explore, relax, and soak in the atmosphere. Transportation within the Old Town was well-organized, with bus shuttles and golf carts available to make moving around easier. This made the visit more comfortable, especially for those who prefer not to walk long distances. One of the highlights of our visit was dining at Somewhere, a truly beautiful restaurant that offers a fantastic atmosphere and delicious food. If you’re looking for a great place to eat, I highly recommend it! Overall, AlUla Old Town is an essential stop for anyone visiting the region. Whether you’re interested in history, food, or simply enjoying the unique setting, this place has something special to offer. Would definitely visit again!

Breathtakingly beautiful in the immense silence of nature. No blaring music, traffic congestion, rubbish on the ground. Alula is gods gift to those who sit and listen and admire nature in her greatest beauty. You never want to leave. And you must come back again and again to see what you love.
