This experience is led by a seasoned Rawi, a traditional storyteller(guide) who knows the land like the back of their hand. This one-hour guided walk offers more than just a look around. It gives you the heart of AlUla’s summer life, layer by layer. With each step through date palm groves, ancient water canals, and charming mudbrick homes, you’ll feel like you’re flipping through your village nostalgia.
From the scent of sun-dried dates to the echoes of games once played by barefoot children, every detail draws you in. The tour isn’t just about the land; it’s about people. Families who tilled, cooked, and sang their way through the summers and who never let the desert steal their spirit. Songs and traditions passed down like heirlooms bring the place alive. One moment, you’ll be hearing about wedding feasts; the next, you’ll learn how neighbours shared the harvest and always had room for one more at the table.
Details To Know Before You Wander
Running on Saturdays only from May 3rd to June 28th 2025, the tours begin at 5 PM sharp, just when the heat softens into a warm glow. But don’t be late, no late entries are allowed, and the Rawi doesn’t wait for late ones.
Meeting point? Near Starbucks in AlUla Old Town. Parking’s sorted too, with free spaces at Old Town North Car Park.
Advance booking would be a smart idea, especially since each tour takes only 10 guests. But if you’re a last-minute explorer, walk-ins are welcome, just don’t bet on luck. The cost? A humble SAR 50 per person. That includes your Rawi guide and a walk straight into the soul of AlUla. Children five and up are welcome, making it a wholesome family outing.
Just remember: comfy shoes, breathable clothes, and a sense of wonder are your must-haves. Bring your ID and e-ticket too, otherwise you won’t get in.
