Many millennia ago, the emergence of a popular trade route across Arabia gave birth to great, powerful, sprawling kingdoms across the land.
In the oases of AlUla, Tayma, and Khaybar, great civilisations flourished for thousands and thousands of years along this caravan route, encountering diverse travellers and explorers from across the ancient world—and shaping the courses of history.
As AlUla, Tayma, and Khaybar celebrate their second-annual Ancient Kingdoms Festival, you’re invited to immerse yourself in the stories, legends, and legacies of these once-great civilisations
