International Media Coverage Highlights Expedition Progress

The Dana to AlUla Expedition has gained significant international media attention as journalists join the team to document this historic journey across ancient trade routes.

Last week, a team of international journalists joined our expedition members to document the challenges and discoveries along the ancient trade route. The coverage has reached audiences across five continents, highlighting both the archaeological significance and the conservation efforts of the project.

Media representatives were particularly interested in the recent discovery of previously undocumented rock art that suggests the route may have been in use several centuries earlier than previously thought.
