Enjoy a guided tour to discover the historic sites of Dadan & Jabal Ikmah during your stay in Al Ula!
You'll join your guide in Dadan, also known as Lihyan, for your first visit. Ruled by a succession of kings based in the AlUla valley, Dadan quickly became one of the region's major cities. The archaeological site includes a necropolis carved out of the mountain, whose two famous Lion Tombs, as well as the foundations of the kingdom's capital bear witness to great wealth.
You will then continue your visit to Jabal Ikmah, a mountain to the north of the AlUla valley. At the entrance to the canyon that leads up the mountain, you'll discover thousands of graffiti and inscriptions etched into the rock by travelers transiting through Dadan. This region bears witness to the diversity of ancient scripts, including Aramaic, Dadanite, Safaitic, Thamudic, Minaic and Nabataean.
