AlJadidah Arts District
الجديدة
An arts district converted from a 20th-century neighborhood beside the Old Town, with concentrations of murals, galleries, artist residency spaces and cafés.
الجديدة means “new district.” It was built in the mid-20th century after residents moved out of the mud-brick Old Town, and it has now been converted into an arts and creative district. Large murals decorate the streets, and there are galleries, craft shops, the AlUla Arts Residency artist residency center and café-restaurants. During the AlUla Arts Festival in winter, exhibitions and night markets are held. It is free to explore on foot. It connects with the Old Town and the oasis trail, and it is liveliest after dusk.
