Another landscape and desert shots of Alula
Al Gharameel
About an hour outside the city, head to the site of the Gharameel Desert, dotted with thin, dark columns of stone stretching into the sky. You will need to go off-road to reach the site, so I recommend an experienced driver. And your reward will be the discovery of an unparalleled view. The magnificence of the place increases at night when the dark sky of Al-Ula witnesses a wonderful display of stars above the rocks. The Al-Gharamil Desert is the perfect place for stargazing while you are surrounded by the mysterious rock formations that are unique to the Al-Gharamil area.
