Things to do in Al Ula

Entering through the same gate as the Yue Rong Zhuang Hotel, security asked if I had purchased a concert ticket (reservation fee 95 SAR). I don't know how others got in, or if they all paid for it. Here's a picture from the back; there's a door at the front, and a bunch of Chinese people were crowding there taking pictures.

A newly built ancient city, it's very interesting to walk around. There is a parking lot next to it, and there are free minibuses or eco-friendly cars to pick you up. It's actually very close, about ten minutes walk. There are Internet-famous restaurants here, but without accommodation, dinner is a bit inconvenient.

Very beautiful, a big rock shaped like an elephant. You can visit it. It is about 300 meters from Madinah.

There is no charge here, but it feels like the most worthwhile place in Alula. Driving here doesn't feel like being on Earth. The whole journey is stunning. Stopping to take pictures along the way is a great movie. Overlooking the entire city from the lookout point, all the huge rocks are at your feet. Everything is worth it.
