One of AlUla’s most famous settlements is Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, carved tombs are from around 2nd century BCE until 106 CE.
Madain Salih is not only Nabataean tombs. Yes, they are wonderful(but closed til about October 2020). It's the whole region, actually vast parts of Northwest Saudi-Arabia which is just a secret full of mountain desert landscapes of incredible beauty. And you have it for yourself! It's easy to rent a car (we took Hanco in Tabuk, one way rentals easily possible) and explore Saudi-Arabia on your own. Do it asap, because now you can feel like a pioneer! Saudi-Arabia is perfectly safe, amazingly cheap and its people incredibly hospitable!

Religious or ritual practices at Hegra were concentrated around Jabal Ithlib, a natural mountain outcrop to the east of the city. A special feature is a rock-cut chamber known as the Diwan, where ritual or elite banqueting and political discussions took place.

Lions symbolised power and protection in the capital of the Dadan and Lihyan kingdoms, and may have marked the burial of an elite member of society, perhaps even a member of royalty. These tombs are up to 50 metres above ground level.
