Saudi Arabia - AlUla
Film production in AlUla
Sandstone canyons, Hegra and desert plateau - with its own permitting regime.
AlUla is one of the most photographed new production locations in the world and one of the most protected. Access to heritage sites is controlled by the Royal Commission for AlUla and requires its own approvals alongside national permits.
Access and permits in AlUla
Heritage sites including Hegra require Royal Commission approval, with conditions on crew numbers, vehicle access and equipment. Non-heritage desert and canyon locations are more flexible and still visually extraordinary.
Logistics and accommodation
Crew accommodation is limited and books out around cultural seasons. Most equipment travels from Riyadh or Jeddah, so build transit days into the schedule.
