Fancy Tour of Hegra in a Vintage Land Rover

11.Fancy Tour of Hegra in a Vintage Land Rover

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

Private vintage Land Rover tour of UNESCO Hegra in AlUla, with entrance, parking, bottled water, and a 2-hour Nabataean tomb drive.

“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.”

12.Tour AlUla’s Old Town

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 11 reviews · 1 hour · from $49

1-hour guided stroll through AlUla Old Town’s mudbrick alleys, Fort viewpoints, and heritage stories, from $49 with parking included.

“It was short and not very informative. For the same money we did another tour that was fantastic and 90 min of history and information. This old town tour could have provided a lot more historical information but all I got out of it was that there were 900 mud brick houses. .... I took extensive notes on all my tours but in this tour, I only came away with 3 words.... 900 mudbrick houses....I don't recommend this tour. However, the staff were very nice.”
