ALULA

Imagine being in constant awe, surrounded by ancient rock formations, nature, and history in its purest form. AlUla deserves a top spot on your travel list — it’s like landing onto another planet.

We indulged in local delicacies like the incredible honey (seriously, the best ever!) and embarked on unforgettable one-of-a-kind adventures. When our car got stuck in the silky dirt in the middle of the desert, nerves were definitely on edge, but the kindness of seven strangers who stopped to help us was truly heartwarming. Together, we overcame the challenge with ropes, rocks, and other random objects and found success — creating a bond that will stay with us forever. 

Shukran, AlUla. As they say — we are taking beautiful memories with us and leaving behind only footprints.👣

THINGS TO DO

Hegra Vintage Land Rover Tour
We set out on an expedition to the ancient tombs of Al-Hijr, also known as Hegra. Much like the renowned Petra, these tombs were crafted by the Nabataeans around the 3rd century BC. Nestled in the desert of AlUla, there are over 110 tombs and we had the privilege of exploring a handful of them. And what better way to do so than aboard a vintage Land Rover?! More images here. A big thank you to Rakan for the lovely tour at Experience AlUla.

SHOPPING

Old Town AlUla

Highly recommend bringing back local honey and dates. Incredibly good! 

*Every trip I take to a new country, I choose a new fragrance to wear throughout the trip. It becomes intertwined with the places, moments, and memories of that adventure. Whenever I wear it again, I’m instantly transported back to the travel memories. For this trip, I wore Oud, satin mood, by Maison Francis Kurkdjian — a scent that will forever remind me of AlUla.
