AlUla Oasis Heritage Trail
درب الواحة
A trail winding through date palm and citrus groves beside the Old Town, with traditional irrigation channels, farmhouses and mud-brick wells along the way.
The AlUla oasis stretches for dozens of kilometers and is home to about 2 million date palms, as well as citrus trees. The heritage trail starts near the Old Town. It is about 3 kilometers long and runs along shaded dirt tracks through family farm gardens, where you can see ancient water channels and wells and farmhouses where dates are dried. Some farms offer fruit picking and date tasting. The trail is free to visit, and bicycles can be rented for riding. The Old Town and Aljadidah Arts District are both within walking distance, making it a good way to link up with an evening tour of the Old Town.
