The Old Town of Al Ula – Keep Calm and Wander

Al-Ula - Alain In Biblical Times, Al Ula was called as Dedan. It is mentioned in Isaiah 21:13 as a home trade base of Arab caravans. Today, the old town of Al Ula is a ghost town. No one lives there anymore but there’s a new town that is settled not far from the old. When you think of old towns as a tourist attractions, you’d think of them as fully-renovated places restored for commercial purposes.
