To build something great, start with a solid plan.
This is true in many aspects of life and business, and it is a principle that we at the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) have followed in creating

This bold masterplan will guide the first and most important phase of the sustainable development of AlUla. It focuses on the Ancient Oasis that is home to our core heritage sites. This is the heart of the action and will be divided into five districts: AlUla Old Town District, Dadan Distict, Jabal Ikmah District, Nabataean Horizon and Hegra Historical City, the kingdom’s first UNESCO Word Heritage site.
