The Royal Commission for AlUla has published a new archaeological volume titled “Umm Daraj: Beacon of the Lihyan Kingdom,” shedding light on the Umm Daraj site and the rich heritage of the ancient Lihyan Kingdom in AlUla.
The book is now available at three retail outlets across AlUla. Visitors can purchase copies at the RCU Store in AlUla Old Town, the Gift Shop at the Hegra archaeological site, and the retail outlet inside AlUla International Airport.
The publication focuses on the Umm Daraj site, offering readers a deeper look at one of AlUla's significant historical locations and the legacy of the Lihyan Kingdom, which once flourished in the region.
Why it matters
For residents and visitors interested in the Kingdom's deep history, the volume adds to the growing body of accessible material documenting AlUla's archaeological importance. It also complements the wider efforts to open the region's heritage to a broader public.
As of the latest available information, no official sale price, online purchase channel, or additional distribution details have been announced. Those wishing to obtain a copy can visit any of the three outlets in AlUla.
