As the temperatures begin to ease and the landscapes of Saudi Arabia shift into their most inviting season, we turn our attention to one of the Kingdom’s most extraordinary destinations—AlUla. With its timeless beauty, dramatic desert scenery, and ever-evolving calendar of cultural and lifestyle experiences, this land is calling, and the invitation has never been more compelling.
AlUla is more than a place—it is a living museum, a sanctuary of history and nature where ancient civilizations once thrived and where today’s travelers come to reconnect, reflect, and rediscover the meaning of exploration. As the cool winds return, the region opens its arms to a new season filled with outdoor adventures, stargazing, hiking, art installations, and moments of stillness among the sandstone canyons.
This is a time when AlUla comes alive with renewed energy—from wellness retreats and fine dining under the stars to world-class concerts, festivals, and immersive cultural programs that continue to grow in scale and ambition each year. Whether you seek relaxation, inspiration, or a sense of wonder, AlUla offers an experience tailored to every kind of traveler.
The journey doesn’t have to end there. Just a short drive away lies the holy city of Madinah, where a sense of peace and spiritual reflection complements the adventure and awe of AlUla. Together, these two destinations offer a unique and deeply enriching itinerary that captures the heart of the Kingdom’s diverse appeal.
To plan your trip around the most exciting events of the season, be sure to explore the UNREAL Calendar—your guide to everything happening this winter across Saudi Arabia. From global sporting events and international music acts to cultural showcases, fashion weeks, and family entertainment, this is a season unlike any other.
As we’ve seen with global icons like Cristiano Ronaldo—who came for football, but stayed for more—Saudi Arabia continues to surprise and inspire those who venture beyond the expected. This winter, we invite you to follow that same path.
Come for the wonder. Stay for everything else.
