Akbar Recommended Best AlulaTour Packages

Here are a few experiences listed as an important part of any alula travel packages that you must indulge your senses in when you’re in AlUla.

1. Elephant Rock (Jabal AlFil)

AlUla has a desert terrain with amazing rock formations covering more than 28,490 square kilometres. Drive 90 minutes north of the Old Town for an unforgettable

astronomy experience. A Rawi will relate legends from the past while seated on a handmade woven carpeting, beside this spectacle of naturally formed rock structures rising up to the sky in the desert. The sky here is as black as it gets, with no light pollution, and you can plainly see the Milky Way glittering overhead. The tour includes an Arabian experience with supper, but travellers need arrive on time to view the sunset

sky painted in oranges, pinks, and gold before the full grandeur of the desert is revealed.

Helicopter tours above one of Arabia's oldest towns, previously exclusively available to archaeologists, geologists, and those with private appointments, are now available to the general public for $199. The trips seek to provide guests with a unique perspective on the richness and historical significance of a region

that was once a juncture for both the Silk Road and the Incense Route. So prepare to see AlUla from above, on a thrilling journey that will take you over the city's seven most iconic monuments.
