AlUla has been included in the Smart City Index 2025, issued by the International Institute for Management Development (IMD), alongside five other Saudi cities: Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, Jeddah, and Al-Khobar.
This milestone highlights the progress of Saudi Vision 2030 in advancing smart city transformation, driven by pioneering initiatives led by the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA) in collaboration with various government entities, according to SPA.

These efforts aim to develop cities that uphold the highest quality of life standards.
AlUla's inclusion in the index for the first time this year underscores Saudi Arabia's ambitious plans to transform the city into a premier heritage, cultural, and tourism destination.

This is achieved by leveraging AI-powered technologies to preserve archaeological sites while enhancing the visitor experience through innovative digital solutions.

These include smart mobility services, crowd management systems, and interactive applications that provide an immersive and efficient way to explore the city.
