Located about 400 kilometers from Medina, Al-Ula is also one of the oldest cities of Saudi Arabia and the world. Deserts, oasis and sand dunes surrounding the city are witnessing a nearly 2,000 year old history. In the past the trade caravan trains transported cargoes to neighboring cities and countries from this city, which is one of the stations of the historical Hejaz railway. Although it is not such an important trade center today, it is still known as a historical center to be seen.
One of the places worth seeing around the city is the interesting stone formation called "elephant rock". You can see this place, which is shaped like an elephant thanks to erosion that happened over time, a few kilometers out of the city. This region of Saudi Arabia, which is blazingly hot in the vast majority of the year, is also extremely hot. This is why, if you plan to come to this city, it would be useful to take precautions to keep yourself cool.
