You may not have heard its name yet, but it certainly won’t be long before you see its beauty on your screen.
Tucked away in the north-western corner of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the remarkable region of AlUla is more than 2,000 years old, but has never been more popular than it is today. And it won’t be long before it’s the world’s next big film production destination.
Originally home to the Nabateans, this ancient site – with its gigantic tombs, stunning rock faces, and walled city – is as unique as they come. Once located on the ‘Incense Road’, connecting a community of travelling traders, AlUla now attracts a much different audience, from tourists to historians, and, understandably, film crews from around the world.
AlUla has so much to offer. Unparalleled views, unique architecture, a real sense of the history of the region, and, perhaps most importantly, Arabian landscape and locations that have, until now, never been captured on film.
And today, filming in AlUla is easier and more accessible than ever before, thanks to the newly launched ‘Film AlUla’ initiative by the Royal Commission for AlUla. Now it is not only an attractive and distinctive location to shoot, it’s potentially a financially and logistically desirable one too.
