About this episode

Nous sommes à Al-Ula, au nord de l’Arabie saoudite. Une région immense de près de 23 000 km² pour 50 000 habitants. Un désert parsemé de roches gigantesques, sculpturales d’où émergent des sites archéologiques : Hegra, Dadane… Des sites préislamiques que l’Arabie saoudite met en valeur pour la première fois, signe d’une volonté affichée d’ouverture et de modernisation. (Rediffusion)

« Al-Ula, l’ambition culturelle de l’Arabie saoudite », un Grand reportage de Muriel Maalouf.
