ALULA
AlUla, Saudi Arabia
AlUla, Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies in the northwestern desert and is a treasure trove of history and nature. Discover ancient tombs that trace back thousands of years and marvel at dramatic rock formations, including the famous 52-meter-tall Elephant Rock. The lush AlUla Oasis offers a refreshing contrast, while adventure seekers can enjoy outdoor activities and contemporary art displays. Each September, the Azimuth AlUla festival brings music and creativity to this stunning desert backdrop. Visitors can indulge in luxury stays at Banyan Tree AlUla’s tented villas or the serene Habitas AlUla resort.
