Saudi Gazette report

Jeddah — Visitors to the Al-Ula mountains in Madinah were pleasantly surprised to see Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, deputy premier and minister of defense, casually touring the archaeological sites.

Many Saudi tourists rushed to take selfies with the Crown Prince, who readily agreed. Soon many of these selfies and videos were posted on social media.

A video shows a man expressing his happiness at meeting Crown Prince Muhammad during his tour.

The carved mountain rocks are the most important characteristic of Al-Ula which go back thousands of years.

Al-Ula is the largest archaeological city in the Kingdom, and home to the Madain Saleh site, a carved rock facade and a number of monuments represented in a number of castles and forts.
