The Old Town is an archaeological site near al-Ula, Medina Province, Saudi Arabia. [1] It is known as the Dira ( Arabic : دِيرَة , romanized : dīra , lit. 'town').
Al-Mabiyat, some 20 km (12 miles) away near Mughayrah became the next commercial centre of the region. It thrived from around 650 CE until it declined at some time before 1230. In the 13th century, the old city of AlUla, locally known as al-Dīrah, was built, and many stones of the old Dedanite and Lihyanite ruins were reused.
Old Town, Al-Ula, or al-Deera as it is locally called, is now all but a ghost town. It consists of a walled village of about 800 dwellings around the perimeter of the more ancient castle with narrow winding alleys, many of which are covered to shield the people from the heat of the sun.
