Carving out a pocket of time to stop and truly contemplate the big questions of our existence is a rarity in today’s world where modern life simply gets in the way. But at AlUla, a magical journey among the stars has been crafted to transport guests to infinite worlds far above our planet where those questions of space and time can be considered.

Using AlUla’s world-renowned clear night skies as a backdrop, expert astronomers lead visitors on a spiritual adventure that makes them feel small and – perhaps comfortingly – insignificant as they observe things almost beyond human comprehension.

During a chilly desert evening, guests first enjoy warm hospitality by the fireside with a traditional Saudi dinner under moonlight. Knowledgeable guides then begin telling a series of captivating stories that explain the ancient connection between Arabic culture and the brilliant constellations.

Part of Alula Skies Festival, this humbling stargazing adventure aims to shift our way of looking at the world and elevate our minds from everyday activities on earth to a greater horizon far beyond our mortal boundaries.
