For more than two thousand years, agriculture has been the foundation upon which AlUla civilization, culture, and economy have flourished. The historic oasis, nourished by ancient groundwater resources and sustained through generations of farming knowledge, enabled AlUla to become one of the most important settlements along the Incense Trade Route.

Today, it continues to shape AlUla's identity, serving not only as an economic sector but also as a living cultural heritage that preserves biodiversity, supports tourism, strengthens local communities, and protects one of the world's most remarkable oasis ecosystems. The region encompasses approximately 20,000 hectares of agricultural land, including around 4.2 million date palms across more than 7,100 farms managed by approximately 5,500 farmers.

Alongside its renowned date production, AlUla is home to a diverse agricultural ecosystem that includes premium citrus, mangoes, fruits, vegetables, indigenous Moringa peregrina, honey, and traditional livestock. Looking ahead, AlUla aims to build on this rich legacy by creating a sustainable, innovation-driven agricultural sector that enhances productivity, advances ecological conservation, and positions AlUla as a global destination for premium agricultural products.
