Although 30,000 archaeological sites have been identified in the AlUla area of Saudi Arabia, only 8 are currently open to visitors: Jabal Ikmah, which has hundreds of inscriptions; Hegra, a massive site settled during the Nabatean and Roman times; Qurh, an early Islamic city; Dadan, which dates from the 8th-1st centuries BCE; Tayma and Khaybar, oasis settlements which have been continuously inhabited for thousands of years and finally, the old town of AlUla, which was occupied from the 12th to the 20th century.
