You can feel the awesomeness of ancient civilization. - The first World Heritage Site in Saudi Arabia (2008), Madain Saleh is an ancient site inhabited by Nabataeans from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD, and features a group of ornamented tombstones carved into a rock mountain. I was able to actually visit the ruins of ancient civilizations and feel how amazing they are. The 60th birthday concert of "X Japan no Yoshiki" was held at this World Heritage Site, and we sat with cheerleaders from Japan on the bus.

Hegra Tour - The tour was quite informative and the guide explained each of the 4 sites in both English and Arabic and also gave some time to us to take pictures. The transport (bus) provided was also very clean. Overall, an amazing experience.

Great experience in Hegra - This was a very nice tour of Hegra. From the visitor centre we went by bus through the highlights of the site. We stopped at 5 places, admiring the nabatean tombs in all their splendor, accompanied by a knowledgeable guide. We had enough time at each place to enjoy them. Really recommended!

Hegra, 2nd city of the Nabateans is 1st class - Hegra is amazing and the landscape breathtaking. If you have been to or going to Petra it is more than well worth visiting Hegra also as it is a completely different experience, and far less crowded. I am in love with the Banyan Tree Resort nestled in the desert surrounded by dramatic rock formations.

Fantastic and cheaper and quieter than Petra - We did the tour when we were staying in AlUla for a few days. Excellent guide, we were just 4 of a total group of 15. The guide was English speaking and was excellent. You could chose to do the tour in a vintage Land Rover for an extra £120 but the coach was fine. You only make 4 stops in total but all stops you are allowed off the coach to take photos.

Well organised tour - Amazing tour team to deal with on the booking of the activity. Basma was very helpful and prompt in answering queries regarding the tour. If you have your own car in AlUla you can directly meet at the Hegra South gate, where the tour starts. Saves commute time. The tour lasted roughly 2 hours and the local guides were very engaging.

Great tour - The actual tour was 90 minutes, which is kind of enough. The lady guide was good, while a small speaker would have helped hear her better. The place is just amazing, not so much the graves but the overall, combined landscape. Thanks to the access being very controlled (fenced) it's 99% nature what you ha e all around. The day was sparkling blue, which also helped having amazing visibility.
