خيبر مدينة القديمة
The mud brick ruins of the old town of Khaybar, perched photogenically on a hilltop. Access is limited to guests of tours operated by Experience AlUla, who also have the monopoly on tours to Hegra.
The desert oasis that sustained life in this harsh environment, now a landscaped pool surrounded by palm trees.
حرة خيبر
An enormous lava field spanning 12,000 km2. The highlights are the "White Mountains" of Jabal Abyad (2,093m) and Jabal Bayda, both comendite (white) volcanoes that have a dramatic contrast against the dark black lava fields. The area is best appreciated from the air, but there are hiking trails up to the edge of the volcano's crater.
Khaybar is located on the Medina-Tabuk highway, about two hours south of Al-Ula.
