Helpfulness
Mada'in Salih is not really a sports-activity spot. It's rather a protected touristic area where no sports should be practiced. However, in winter, it gets too cool to do sandsurfing on that historical hills next to al-Ula city, just off Mada'in Salih since these two towns are historically and geographically connected. They share lots of activities and sightseeings. Tips in Mada'in Salih are pretty much the same of al-Ula (unless for tombs).
Equipment: Soft big tyres for sliding
Durable long pants (cotton pants may get torn out)
Heavy sweaters for winter, light shirts for summer slinding
Boots if you don't like to be filled with sands, plus long socks.
At night, you should have big flashes and one of these tiny machines while driving to detect rocks and stones.
