ALULA CYCLING DESTINATION FOR LEISURE AND COMPETITION

Every year in January, the AlUla Tour brings together the best international

teams for five demanding stages. Meanwhile, the region continues to develop

its infrastructure and experiential offerings with more than 70 kilometres of dedicated tracks, varied routes, and iconic challenges. For instance, the ascent of Harrat Uwayrid is already being compared to legendary European climbs like the Angliru, one of the most iconic climbs of the Vuelta.

From roads ridden by professional cyclists to trails winding through canyons, oases

and spectacular volcanic landscapes, AlUla offers a unique playground for cyclists of all levels. It also provides the opportunity to discover the region's breathtaking landscapes, iconic landmarks and rich cultural heritage, including Hegra, the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in Saudi Arabia.

and for me, it’s the perfect place to ride.

There is a real community of cyclists there,

people you can meet and really get to know.

There is an incredible energy there.”

Dans le prolongement de cette dynamique culturelle, AlUla est également à l’honneur au siège de l’UNESCO à Paris, qui accueille, du 15 juin au 31 août 2026 l’exposition photographique I Am a Rawi. Présentée sur les grilles extérieures de l'institution, elle est en accès libre et gratuit.

Développée par l’UNESCO et la Commission

Royale pour AlUla (RCU), l’exposition met en lumière la figure du Rawi, conteur traditionnel du monde arabe, qui transmet par la parole l’histoire, les savoirs et les traditions liés aux paysages, aux inscriptions et aux vestiges d’AlUla.

Inscrite dans une programmation plus large

dédiée au dialogue interculturel, cette initiative illustre l’ambition d’AlUla de renforcer sa présence sur la scène culturelle internationale en valorisant la richesse et la profondeur de son héritage historique.
