AlUla Fort, also known as Musa ibn Nusayr Castle, dates back to the 10th century and sits atop a rocky outcrop overlooking the Old Town. This ancient fortification served as a strategic watchtower and defensive position, providing sweeping views of the surrounding oasis valley and the historic settlement below.
The fort is a defining feature of the AlUla skyline and offers visitors a tangible connection to the region's long history of settlement, trade, and pilgrimage.
