Sustainability Commitment

The Red Sea destination is powered by 100% renewable energy from a dedicated solar farm. It aims to achieve a 30% net conservation benefit, meaning the environment will be better off with the development than without it. No single-use plastics are permitted across all resorts.

Getting There

The new Red Sea International Airport connects directly to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, London, and Singapore. Seaplane and yacht transfers are available to island resorts.

UNESCO Recognition for Dadan

The UNESCO World Heritage Committee has officially inscribed the ancient Dadan archaeological site in AlUla on its prestigious World Heritage List. The site, dating back to the 8th century BCE, was once the capital of the Dadanite and Lihyanite kingdoms and is one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in the Arabian Peninsula.

Historical Significance

Dadan was a major trading hub on the ancient incense route connecting southern Arabia to the Mediterranean. The site features:

• Over 1,000 carved rock inscriptions in Dadanitic script
• Monumental lion-head tombs carved into cliff faces
• Remnants of a massive temple dedicated to the god Dhu Ghabet
• Ancient irrigation systems demonstrating advanced engineering
• Pottery and artifacts spanning 2,500 years of civilization

Impact on Tourism

The UNESCO designation is expected to boost visitor numbers to AlUla by 40%. The Royal Commission for AlUla has invested SAR 15 billion in conservation, infrastructure, and sustainable tourism development. New visitor experiences including augmented reality heritage tours and nighttime archaeological illuminations are planned for 2027.

Saudi Arabia's UNESCO Sites

With Dadan, Saudi Arabia now has seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Al-Hijr (Hegra), At-Turaif District in ad-Dir'iyah, Historic Jeddah, Rock Art in the Hail Region, Al-Ahsa Oasis, Hima Cultural Area, and now Dadan.
