From the ULH runway to your door in AlUla
AlUla International Airport (ULH) is small and calm compared with the big-city hubs, which is pleasant until you walk out and find no ride waiting. Flights land at scattered times, and places to stay are spread across a wide area: the town near the Old Town, the surrounding valleys, and desert camps and resorts reached by inner roads. That is why many visitors arrange their car before they even board.
With Mishwar Al Haramain you book a private car and driver that is ready when your flight lands. The fare is fixed for the whole car, agreed on WhatsApp in advance, and paid on arrival.
How the pickup works
- Before you fly: send us your flight number, arrival date and the name of your accommodation.
- While you are in the air: we track the flight, so an early or late landing simply moves the pickup time.
- When you come out: the driver is in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name.
- Waiting time: you have 60 minutes free after landing for bags and formalities, so there is no need to rush.
- Departure: the driver helps with luggage and drives straight to your address.
Where we drop off
- Hotels and apartments in town and around the Old Town.
- Resorts and desert camps in the valleys around AlUla.
- Starting points for sites such as Hegra and Elephant Rock, if you prefer to head there first.
Some camps sit on unmarked inner roads, so please include a map pin of your booking with your request so the driver can prepare.
Choosing a vehicle
| Class | Best for |
|---|---|
| Sedan | Solo travellers or couples with standard luggage |
| Family SUV / van | Families, small groups, or anyone carrying camera gear and several cases |
| VIP | Business guests and travellers wanting a higher level of comfort |
AlUla airport transfers are not part of our published fare table, so we confirm your price on WhatsApp based on destination and vehicle. The fare covers the whole car, not each passenger, and no prepayment is needed. See the fleet page for the classes available.
Tips before you travel
- Book early for winter: the cooler months are the busy season for visits and events in AlUla, and cars get booked up.
- Expect a temperature swing: warm days can turn into chilly desert nights, so keep a light jacket in your hand luggage.
- Think about the days after: if you plan several sites in one day, the hourly chauffeur service may suit you better than separate rides.
- Arrange the return: book your ride back to ULH together with your arrival so it is settled from the start.
Continuing beyond AlUla
Plenty of visitors carry on by road. You can arrange a transfer from AlUla to Tabuk, or ask us about a journey towards Madinah via the Madinah taxi page.
Questions travellers ask
My booking is at a desert camp. What should I send you?
A map pin of your booking, since some camps sit on unmarked inner roads; that way the driver can prepare the route in advance.
Can I go from the airport straight to Hegra or Elephant Rock?
Yes. We can drop you at the starting points for sites such as Hegra and Elephant Rock if you prefer to head there first.
