2. Reach For The Top On The AlUla Stairway

The AlUla Stairway may seem like a simple climb on a suspended ladder, but it’s actually no joke, especially on windy days. The 45-metre suspended ladder is located in one of the most scenic spots in AlUla, so you probably should frequently stop for breathers to soak in the views of the surroundings. You could then zipline your way back to the bottom of the valley. Adrenaline rush guaranteed!
