Sightseeing

The Chedi Hegra sits within Mada’in Salih, the first UNESCO World Heritage property to be inscribed in Saudi Arabia, its 100-plus monumental Nabataean tombs with decorated facades dating from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD ensconced within AlUla, a veritable living museum where these epic structures, ancient inscriptions and rock-hewn art blend seamlessly at this ancient crossroads of civilizations with astonishing contemporary art and architecture like the 9,000-plus glass panelled Maraya, the world’s largest mirrored building, a futuristic venue for cultural events and live performances.
