Where is Hegra and how to get there?
The archeological site of Hegra (also known as Mada’in Saleh) is located in the Medina Province in the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia. The site is 26 miles from the city of AlUla (a 35-minute drive), where there is an international airport with flights to and from Dubai, Riyadh, Jeddah, and Damman. Hegra is only 11.6 miles to the world-famous Maraya Concert Hall, the largest mirrored building in the world.
