★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 25 reviews · 8 hours · from $296Top rated

Review of AlUla’s private 8-hour local tour, covering Hegra, Old Town, Elephant Rock, and Maraya with hotel pickup included.

“I had this experience guided by Turki Alharbi, it was an excellent tour. We learned a lot and we enjoyed our time as well. Plus he was so helpful regarding many more arrangements that we needed help with. Note: for those who are willing to take this tour, if I would change something I would go for a 4WD car (as certain places cannot be viewed with a regular accent saden car) Other than it is on the pricey side. Many thanks for this experience ♡”

Fancy Tour of Hegra in a Vintage Land Rover

10.Fancy Tour of Hegra in a Vintage Land Rover

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 11 reviews · 2h 30m · from $499

Review of Hegra’s private vintage Land Rover tour, with Nabataean tombs, local guides, pricing, itinerary, and practical booking advice.

“Driving in the open landrover was fun and the Nabataean tombs are amazing! But for the price we expected a private guide, however she gave also explanations to the guests in other cars, sometimes in Arabic. We didn´t feel very valued. In general it is difficult to listen to a female guide with niqab speaking English not perfectly. We were three old ladies (over 70) but the driver did not help us out of or into the car.”
