AlUla Old Town

AlUla Old Town sits in AlUla, Al Madinah. No visitor figure is published for it — the Kingdom releases attendance for almost no site, and this register records that absence rather than filling it with an estimate.

Access
Two unconnected gateways. Al Madinah takes pilgrim volume through Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz and Haramain; terminal utilisation runs above design capacity — over 137% per GACA. AlUla lives separately: its own airport, direct flights from Riyadh, Jeddah and Dubai, no rail. Do not plan AlUla as an extension of Madinah — different season, different audience.
Events in the region
Winter at Tantora, AlUla Arts Festival, AlUla Wellness Festival

No attendance figure is published for this site. Saudi Arabia has no systematic publication of visitor numbers, so the field is empty rather than estimated. Verified 26 August 2026.
