From Ha’il to Al’Ula …
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

…it’s a good 400 km, mostly boring kilometers. But this gradually changes before Al’Ula.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Al’Ula<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

First we drive to the “West” parking lot, where we happily meet our French colleagues Muriel and Gilles<\/strong> again. The parking lot is close to some sights and shopping facilities, but is relatively quiet at night. <\/p>\n

Eating out for four is nicer<\/strong>. That’s why we make the most of being together and choose a Yemeni restaurant where the food is freshly cooked. The kitchen gives off all its heat into the dining room, including the smoke, which is why the air conditioning is running at full blast and making a lot of noise. <\/p>\n

But the food is all the better and the experience pleases both our palates and our minds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Old town<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the highlights of Al’Ula is the partially renovated old town with its mud architecture. Al’Ula lies in a huge oasis in the middle of the Hijaz mountains<\/strong>. Many magnificent rock formations and sand dunes characterize the landscape around Al’Ula.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
