Al-`Ula oasis (also Al Ola, Arabic ????? al-?ula; Biblical Dedan), some 110 km southwest of Tayma (380 km north of Medina) in northwestern Arabia was located at the incense route. It was the capital of the ancient Lihyanites (Dedanites). It is well known for archaeological remnants, some over 2000 years old. The spectacular scenery is starting to draw in visitors but the tourism infrastructure is still relatively under-developed.
