Al Ula Old Town (Saudi Arabia)

Al Ula Old Town is located in the narrowest part of the Al Ula Valley. Built on a slight elevation, the town is overlooked by the Musa bin Nusayr Castle, a citadel dating back approximately to the 10th century.
In the 12th century, Al Ula Old Town became an essential settlement along the pilgrimage route from Damascus to Makkah. The Town can be accessed by 14 gates, which were opened in the morning to welcome travellers, pilgrims and other visitors, and will be closed in the evening.
Al Ula Old Town has 900 mudbrick houses, 400 shops and five rahbas, or town squares. Traces of original stone and mud brick structures can be found at this remarkable site, with winding alleyways, windows glimpsing hidden lanes and roof-top terraces that only hint at the world within.
Visitors can peek into the Masjid al-Izam, the restored Friday mosque mentioned in historic documents as having been visited by the Prophet Muhammad, who prayed here and designated the mihrab (or niche which the congregation faces to pray).
Travelers will also be able to see the town’s tantora, or sundial, where residents tracked the changing seasons and organised access to water and other resources.
Special thanks to Engr. Leonard Neil Ignacio And "Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior Ministries" Family for inviting me to join the trip to Al Ula.
