“Must see in Saudi!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2012 NEW

Amazing and un exploited. We were the only visitors the day we were there! I didn't realize that the ottoman train line was here at the site. They are still doing archaealogical work here and the discoveries will be more and more amazing. If you are in Saudi don't leave before coming here! More

I have been there quite a few times & enjoyed the city & surroundings of Al-Oula.

Architecture is similar to Petra (Jordan) & for those who are interested in archeology & history, will enjoy this site. One needs permission... More
