Harrat Uwayrid, home to the iconic Harrat Viewpoint, is a vast volcanic plateau formed by ancient lava flows that once shaped the dramatic landscape of northwestern Arabia. The word “Harrat” in Arabic refers to a volcanic field, and Harrat Uwayrid is one of the largest in the Arabian Peninsula.
This elevated area offers a unique contrast to the sandstone valleys and lush oasis below. Historically, it was a natural lookout point and played a strategic role for ancient communities, offering sweeping views over trade routes, valleys, and nearby settlements such as Dadan and AlUla Old Town.
Today, it stands as a geological marvel and a cultural treasure, symbolizing the timeless grandeur and diverse natural beauty of AlUla.
