AlUla Digital Platforms

About

At the Royal Commission for AlUla, I led the user experience and digital strategy for the destination’s broader digital ecosystem. As the in-house UX lead, I collaborated closely with Deloitte Digital—an agency brought on across several projects including UX/UI, content, social, and campaign development—to deliver key digital experiences ahead of AlUla’s first global brand campaign, Forever Revitalising.

I oversaw the full end-to-end digital journey across all touchpoints, from initial discovery to on-ground engagement. This included leading the design of the new Experience AlUla website and mobile app, ensuring both platforms delivered a seamless, intuitive experience while supporting storytelling, itinerary planning, and booking.

My role extended to digital strategy across social media, CRM, email, and on-site digital integrations—ensuring every channel worked together to elevate the visitor experience. A key part of this work involved localization and audience segmentation—shaping the digital experience to meet the expectations of different global markets and traveler profiles.

Beyond core platforms, I also oversaw the development of satellite projects such as the Living Museum – created for AlUla’s Arts and Culture department—, and microsites for flagship events like the AlUla World Archaeology Summit—ensuring consistency and alignment across AlUla’s broader digital presence.

Designing for tourism goes beyond aesthetics—it's about crafting meaningful experiences. In AlUla, I focused on understanding not just where travelers go, but the why behind their choices—whether it's their desire for cultural immersion and adventure or a sense of tranquility and escape. My overall goal was to create seamless, intuitive journeys that inspired excitement and trust, with every digital touchpoint carefully designed to connect visitors with AlUla’s stories before they even arrived. My work wasn’t just about interfaces, but about creating moments that sparked wonder and anticipation for what’s to come.
