Join British explorer, writer and photographer Levison Wood as he travels to Saudi Arabia to see what is on offer for the adventure traveller in the ancient region of AlUla. Discover thousands of years of history spread across the land surrounded by mountains and desert – start with the Nabataean architecture and tombs in Hegra, go on a rock art trail at night guided by starlight and immerse yourself in the old town’s culture and heritage from more than 800 years ago. A highlight includes the views from the top of AlUla – join Levison as he climbs 189 steps and wander over the restored town from above. He will also walk through citrus trees and rejuvenated farms on the AlUla Oasis Trail and meet archaeologists at Sharaan Nature Reserve. Whether a keen historian or a thrill-seeker intrigued by canyoning through the twisted rock formations, admire the natural beauty and traditions of AlUla from afar.
