@jeddah_saudiarab: The Old Town is an archaeological site near al-‘Ulā, Medina Province, Saudi Arabia.[1] It is known as al-Dirah (Arabic: دِيرَة, romanized: dīrah, lit. 'town'). Inside al-Dīrah are ancient heritage buildings, mosques (masjid), and markets, dating back about seven centuries,[2] currently under restoration development.[3] This town is 22 kilometres (14 mi) away from Hegra.[4] The heritage town looks like a single building due to the crowding of its 870 residential units, along with more than 400 shops and five town squares.[5] These units are separated by narrow and winding alleys. The town is divided into two districts: al-Shqīq in the north and al-Ḥilf in the south.[6] #alula #village #madina #oldtown #saudiarabia🇸🇦
