The AlUla Oasis covers over 200 hectares of the AlUla Valley just north, east and west of AlUla Old Town. Its soil fertility and the ability to tap ground water given the historically high water table led to its development since ancient times. When we speak of an "oasis," we mean a cultivated area made possible by a fresh water source in an otherwise arid environment. Judicious irrigation planning allowed the creation of open fields and enclosed horticultural gardens adjacent to settlement centers, the foundation of local life for millennia. It is this human activity that transformed the valley and made it an exceptional place.
