Just outside the barbed wire fence of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Madain Saleh in Saudi Arabia is the towering Athleb Mountain. They’re a breathtakingly gorgeous wonder that withstood the burning temperature of the desert.

HOTEL IN AL-ULA or MADAIN SALEH
You should go camping – an experience you won’t forget. We stayed both in Sahary Al Ola Camp and Madakhil Camp. If one is full, we choose the other. 🙂 If camping in the desert is not your thing, you can always stay at Al Ula Arac Hotel in downtown.
