We arrived in the midst of the annual festival, so there was music everywhere, lighting effects, projections on buildings, performances and a lot of people) A musical group was playing from the balcony of one of the buildings, and spectators were crowding the square below.
The old town of Al-Ula has been mentioned by travelers since the 12th century. The architecture is ancient and brings the streets with shops (souvenirs and clothes), street food and restaurants right into the atmosphere of Agrabah from Aladdin. All this is bordered by red rocks, then there is a descent to the palm park, crickets and the faint light of flashlights.
There are a lot of interesting things in souvenir shops:
- Candles with scents Senses of AlUla: Enchanted Oasis and Senses of Alula: Morning Flora
- Cute tea pairs with a knitted napkin under the cup. As well as a huge number of handmade vases and jugs.
- National clothes and bags
