Alula skies festival 27 - FEBRUARY - 12 MARCH
It's no secret that the fascinating geological landscapes of AlUla, from the volcanic plains to the ancient heritage sites, are best seen from the air. AlUla Skies was a two-week festival celebrating all things skies! The sky was alive with action, whether floating serenely over Hegra in a hot air balloon or seeing AlUla's most famous landmarks from above in a helicopter tour. Nighttime was no different, with an innovative take on stargazing that brought the world's longest drone show soaring through the night sky and a spine-tingling Symphony Under the Stars set under the magnificent Arc Rock. In AlUla, the sky is the limit!
