We explore the region of Al Ula, Saudi Arabia with our Land Rover Defender and not only learn about ancient Hegra but find an elephant and brain looking rocks next to our campspot in the desert.
After an amazing morning at the volcanoes (check the previous episode, EP28) we go north towards Al Ula. The road itself to get there is stunning. The road is very comfortable and the mountains and cliffs mesmerizing.
In Al Ula we camp wild without any problem and later visit the ancient city of Hegra (Madain Saleh) with the famous “Tomb of Lihyan son of Kuza”. The Nabateans built this city after Petra as they thought it might be better protected than their sister city in Jordan. There are more than 111 tombs here, some of them in a better state than the ones in Petra.
We left the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hegra and headed into the desert again. We got stuck late at night and were too lazy to get us out of the sand so we had to do it in the morning. It took more effort than expected.
We continue doing some epic offroading in the desert and find Baby Elephant Rock and Al Naasla Rock. Some of the engravings here are thousand years old!
Enjoy the ride!
