JEDDAH — The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) Sunday announced the signing of four strategic agreements — including one for Villa Hegra, introducing the iconic ‘French villa’ model in the Middle East.
The signings coincided with Saturday’s official visit to Jeddah by the French President Emmanuel Macron and his meeting with Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, Crown Prince and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Royal Commission for AlUla.
The partnerships come as part of RCU’s integrated development program to transform AlUla into a global cultural and natural heritage destination and a gateway city offering an outstanding quality of life for residents and visitors.

It will be respectful of the environment and history, and inclusive of local populations….
