Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Walking
If you are starting from Al Ula's town center, head north on Prince Abdul Majid Road. Continue straight for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach the intersection with Al Ula's main public park on your left. At this intersection, turn left onto Al Wadi Road and continue straight for another 1 kilometer. You will see signs for بوابة الزمن (Gateway of Time), which is located near the end of the road. The entrance will be on your right.
Bicycle
For those who prefer biking, rent a bicycle from one of the local shops in the town center. Starting from the town center, ride north on Prince Abdul Majid Road. After about 1.5 kilometers, make a left turn onto Al Wadi Road. Continue biking straight for about 1 kilometer. Look for the signposts indicating بوابة الزمن on your right side.
Public Transport
If you are looking to use public transport, check the local bus schedules for routes heading towards the outskirts of Al Ula. Board a bus that is heading in the direction of the Al Ula Heritage area. Disembark at the stop closest to Al Wadi Road. From there, walk about 800 meters east on Al Wadi Road, and you will find بوابة الزمن on your right. Note that bus schedules may vary, so it’s best to inquire locally for the most current information.
