“The landscape in AlUla is stunning and well worth a visit by itself. A bit reminiscent of Arches National Park and the Grand Canyon, it contains red rock canyons, craggy mountains, endless lava fields atop high plateaus, sandstone pillars silhouetted against the sky, huge rock formations and rolling dunes. Because of the oasis, there are also abundant date farms, with rows and rows of palms (more than 2 million), their fronds bright pops of green in the dusky desert. On foot, you notice exquisite natural details, like the swirling stripes of color formed by the sedimentary layers of the rocks and the honeycomb effect created by the wind eroding the sandstone. In the evenings, a night sky strewn with stars and free from any light pollution makes for a magical experience.”
