Security Considerations in AlUla
Sites in AlUla are spread over long distances between the Old Town, Hegra and the resorts in the valleys, and many are far from the main roads. This requires careful planning of officer transport and shift changes, communication equipment that works in areas with limited coverage, and clearly designated assembly points for visitors when needed.
Tourism peaks in the cooler months of the year, when seasonal events and concerts are held at Maraya and open-air venues, while temperatures rise sharply in summer. Schedules therefore need flexibility between the two seasons, with rest and hydration breaks for officers at exterior posts during the day and suitable shade at fixed posts.
Visitors to AlUla come from many countries and include official delegations, business travelers and guests of luxury resorts. Officers should therefore be fluent in Arabic and English and keep a calm manner that respects the nature of heritage sites, along with the rules set by the competent authorities on access, photography and the protection of antiquities in and around the sites.

Common Questions
Can Security Coverage Be Provided for a Private Event Held at an Open-Air Site in AlUla?
Yes, after a review of the site and the requirements of the bodies that regulate events in AlUla, and after the necessary approvals are obtained. Planning usually covers access control, guest lists, officer transport, lighting and communications, and these details are set out in writing before the proposal is issued.
How Is Security Guard Coverage Priced?
Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a higher rate.
