Harrat Viewpoint
إطلالة حرة
A viewing platform on the edge of a lava plateau, looking down over the full length of the AlUla canyon, the oasis date palm groves and the Old Town.
The viewing platform stands on the cliff edge of the Harrat Uwayrid lava plateau, west of the Old Town. A winding mountain road leads up to it, offering views of north–south sandstone canyons, oasis date palm groves and the full panorama of the town. The red cliffs are most spectacular at sunset. The platform has a restaurant and a rest area. Admission is free. You need to drive or hire a car to get there, about 20 minutes from the Old Town. There are not many guardrails along the cliff edge, so keep a close eye on children.
