Sunset Safari through Sharaan Nature Reserve

Explore the uncharted terrains of AlUla as they transform beneath the sun. This experience offers rare access to one of the region’s most mesmerising desert landscapes, designed for those who seek connection with the land and culture.

Venture into the Sharaan Nature Reserve with a dedicated Conservation Guide, where the landscape transitions from sweeping desert plains to towering sandstone formations and pockets of grassland. Along the way, discover ancient petroglyphs and native wildlife, with each moment revealing stories shaped by time and tradition.

Savour gourmet canapés at an elevated sunset point, and watch as the sun melts into the horizon, casting golden hues across canyons that stretch as far as the eye can see. This is a five-hour experience designed to share the true spirit of Sharaan, a land where the earliest echoes are inscribed in the canyons shaped by time.
