AlUla Valley Heritage Circuit | Old Town + Dadan + Jabal Ikmah Half-Day Tour Overview
The AlUla Valley heritage circuit covers three key sites in the valley south of the city — all within 15km of each other. AlUla Old Town (900-year mud-brick city, fort view, old souq) + Dadan ancient city (Dadanite/Lihyanite capital, lion tombs on cliff face) + Jabal Ikmah (thousands of ancient inscriptions, sacred valley). Each site takes 1–1.5 hours. The full circuit (3 sites) fits in a half-day (4–5 hours). Driver waits between all sites. These three sites complement Hegra perfectly — cover Hegra in the morning and the valley circuit in the afternoon for a complete AlUla heritage day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How long does the valley heritage circuit take?
AlUla Old Town (60–90 min) + Dadan (60–90 min) + Jabal Ikmah (45–60 min) = approximately 4–5 hours including travel between sites. Start by 8am for a comfortable morning circuit.
Q. Do I need to pre-book tickets for all three sites?
Yes — AlUla Old Town, Dadan, and Jabal Ikmah all require Experience AlUla tickets (alula.sa). Book all three before your visit, especially in peak season. Our transfer service covers transport only — tickets are booked separately.
Q. Is the valley circuit suitable for children?
Yes — Old Town and Dadan have relatively accessible paths (the Dadan buggy tour is gentle). Jabal Ikmah's valley floor walk is flat. All three are suitable for older children with interest in history. Bring water and sun protection regardless of season.

Making your spiritual journey smoother
Meeting Points
At Jeddah Terminal 1, meet your driver near the large aquarium. For Terminal North, look for the designated pre-arranged transport area.
Peak Hour Planning
Avoid travel during prayer times if possible, as roads near the Haram in Makkah and Madinah often close 30 minutes before and after Salah.
Vehicle Verification
Always ensure your driver is from Haram Taxi Service. They will have your booking details ready on their dispatch app for verification.
Ziyarat Tours
We recommend booking Ziyarat tours (Mount Uhud, Quba Mosque, Cave of Hira) early in the morning to avoid the midday sun and crowds.
Note: Our services are designed to give you peace of mind so you can focus on your Ibadah.
