AlUla
.jpg){kind=link}
Tombs carved into rose-red sandstone by the same civilisation that built Petra, canyons you can drive straight through, and a silence in the desert so complete it feels like the site is still being discovered.
The best time to visit AlUla is Oct–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 35°C (94°F).
