Saudi Arabia’s ancient city AlUla is gearing up for a bumper summer season.

With travel back after the Covid-19 pandemic, the kingdom’s historic desert region is welcoming more tourists and has lots of adventures in store for those who visit.

Ahead of summer, low-cost airline Flynas will resume direct flights between Dubai and AlUla. Starting from June 24, the Saudi Arabian carrier will operate a weekly flight connecting the destinations. Leaving Dubai on a Friday and returning on a Sunday, the schedule is perfectly timed for a weekend getaway.
