Itinerary
Elephant Rock, a true icon of AlUla, rises 52 meters above the landscape. This remarkable rock formation, shaped from warm-hued sandstone, has been sculpted over millions of years by the forces of wind and water erosion. Known in Arabic as Jabal AlFil, the site is especially captivating at dusk, when the setting sun casts a deep crimson light over the trunk and body of this geological wonder, enhancing its majestic presence.
Rainbow Rock derives its name from its distinctive shape, resembling an arch or a rainbow with two clouds. In close proximity to Rainbow Rock, visitors can explore other remarkable rock formations, including the Dancing Rocks. These two large rock pillars create the illusion of dancing together, adding to the allure of the site.
For those seeking a unique and tranquil café experience nestled in the heart of nature, a visit to Shalal Al Café is a must. Tucked away within a stunning rock mountain landscape, this hidden gem offers a serene retreat that combines natural beauty with exceptional service. To reach the café, visitors must embark on a scenic journey, crossing a path that meanders between two towering cliff mountains. This dramatic entrance sets the stage for a memorable experience, as guests are welcomed into an intimate setting surrounded by the awe-inspiring majesty of the mountains. Shalal Al Café provides not only a peaceful atmosphere but also an opportunity to immerse oneself in the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, making it a truly exceptional destination.
TOne of AlUla’s most remarkable archaeological findings — and a discovery that captured global attention — is the ancient city of Dadan. Over 2,000 years ago, this impressive stone-built city served as the capital of the Dadan and Lihyan Kingdoms. Today, it stands as a striking reminder of their legacy, featuring beautifully carved tombs meticulously hewn into the red sandstone cliffs.
Step back in time as you explore the historic alleys and numerous mud-brick houses of AlUla’s Old Town, where structures are closely packed together, resembling an impenetrable fortress. The origins of this ancient settlement date back nearly a thousand years. With every step, history becomes vividly tangible, allowing you to experience the rich heritage that breathes life into the bustling streets of Old Town.

Very Good experience, very nice people and view
We had a truly fantastic time with Mr Bader on our first ever trip to Al ula ! Pick up was smooth, we were treated very well. Mr Bader was most kind and very knowledgeable about Al Ula. The trip to the tombs and the old civilizations was great the bus was very comfortable. Toilets available and water. I did think there should be at least 2 people explaining in English and another in Arabic so that the activity goes faster but that was a minor thing. Overall I really recommend this particular tour company felt very safe and was very fun. Great photography from Mr Bader also The day is very long so just be prepared for weather change from sunny and hot to chilly at night.
Great guide; very flexible and

We set off in two small groups to visit Elephant Rock, where we took some photos. We also had tea at Shallal Café Resort and viewed the landmark Maraya Concert Hall. Finally, we had dinner in AlUla Old Town.
We went on a tour of AlUla’s landmarks, including Elephant Rock, Maraya Concert Hall, and Hegra. We enjoyed watching the sunset and also took photos of the Old Town. We also visited and saw the orange farms.
Amazing experience, the tour was fantastic. The person took us around is excellent, friendly, welcoming.
