Discover the Magic of AlUla

Arrive at AlUla International Airport, where a Cox & Kings representative greets you with a warm smile and escorts you to your private, comfortable vehicle. Throughout your journey, all transfers from desert excursions to evening strolls will be seamlessly arranged, ensuring every moment flows with ease.

Your stay begins at an upscale desert resort, where thoughtfully appointed rooms offer modern comforts surrounded by sandstone cliffs. After a smooth check-in, take the afternoon to unwind and embrace the serenity of AlUla’s unique landscapes.

As evening falls, step into the lively atmosphere of AlUla Old Town and Winter Park. Here, food stalls, art installations, and cultural performances bring the oasis to life. If your travel coincides, you may attend one of the signature Winter at Tantora Festival events from world-class concerts to hot air balloon glows illuminating the desert sky.

Return to your hotel for an overnight stay in AlUla.

Start the day with a hearty breakfast at your resort before heading out on a journey into the ancient world. Visit Hegra (Madain Saleh), Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, where carved Nabataean tombs and sandstone facades reveal stories over 2,000 years old. Continue to Dadan and Jabal Ikmah, where your heritage guide unveils inscriptions and carvings that earned this valley the name of “Saudi Arabia’s open-air library.”

After lunch at leisure, your afternoon shifts into adventure mode. Embark on a 4x4 drive across desert canyons or choose a guided hike through the tranquil Hidden Valley, where dramatic rock formations frame every view.

As night descends, gather for a magical stargazing session. With Al Ula’s crystal-clear winter skies, constellations shimmer brighter than anywhere else a fitting close to a day of discovery.

Begin before dawn with a breathtaking Hot Air Balloon Ride (available during Winter at Tantora). Soar above canyons, cliffs, and oases as the first rays of sunlight wash AlUla in gold. Return to your hotel for a leisurely breakfast and a relaxed morning.

Later, discover AlUla’s modern cultural face with a visit to the Maraya Concert Hall, the world’s largest mirrored building, or stroll through art trails where contemporary installations meet desert landscapes.

After a tranquil afternoon at the resort, head out to the natural wonder of Elephant Rock (Jabal AlFil). Watch as the sun sets behind this colossal sandstone formation, transforming the desert into hues of amber and crimson. The site comes alive in winter evenings with food trucks and live music, making it a perfect spot to share stories of your journey.

Conclude with a dinner under the stars at a farm-to-table restaurant in the oasis.

Your final morning begins with a wholesome breakfast. If time permits, take a gentle walk along the Al Ula Oasis Trail, where date palms, citrus groves, and mud-brick houses create a soothing farewell to this desert sanctuary.

After check-out, a private transfer will escort you to Al Ula International Airport for your onward journey. Carry home not just souvenirs but a tapestry of memories from starlit skies to timeless tombs, from cultural wonders to desert calm.

Great journeys never truly end they simply inspire the next. Until we meet again…
Expertly yours.
