The STA Podcast ft Melanie de Souza

AlUla is having a moment. One of the most exciting destinations not just in Saudi Arabia but in the world in terms of historical significance and tourist appeal, this emerging destination is now furnished by luxury hotels such as the lauded Banyan Tree Alula.

From hot balloon and helicopter rides to zip lines and vintage Range Rovers, modes of transport over and around the region's historic rock formations, ancient dwellings and heritage villages make journeys here even more thrilling.

Melanie de Souza, Destination Marketing Executive Director at Royal Commission for AlUla, shared all the latest happenings in AlUla with Connecting Travel's Editorial Director Sarah Hedley Hymers.
