AlUla in A Moment With… | The evolution of AlUla and its community

We had the chance to sit down with Mr. Phillip Jones from The Royal Commission for AlUla to discuss how the city presents travellers with a unique fusion of ancient wonders and modern luxuries, seamlessly blending the old with the new.
When Phillip Jones, Chief Tourism Officer of the Royal Commission for AlUla, first heard of the city, he mistakenly thought it was a destination in Hawaii. However, upon visiting, he was captivated by the beauty and vision of the city, with the opportunity to develop its infrastructure, arts, and culture being irresistible.
AlUla, located in the North Medina Province of Saudi Arabia, is a remote area, offering a unique combination of 7,000 years of history and civilisation, with each era leaving its mark. The Royal Commission for AlUla is dedicated to preserving the city's historical and cultural heritage while developing modern infrastructure to attract visitors. Efforts include refurbishing over 800 buildings in the Old Town, transforming them into shops, boutiques, and restaurants, while the local market, or Souq, offers a variety of locally made products, arts, and crafts, appealing to both locals and visitors. #amomentwith
