During the day, you can book hot-air balloons that offer spectacular flights over AlUla’s breathtaking scenery. And then at night, you can return to Earth for under-the-stars picnics and stargazing experiences.
Currently, confirmed events include an AlUla Glow Show with DJs, food, and serene flights, picnics under the stars with a traditional Saudi dinner, and stargazing and beginner astrophotography too. Astrophotography is where an expert will take you on a journey through the stars which is then followed by a session on how to capture the perfect picture.
The festival will include the AlUla Hot Air Balloons where dozens of colourful hot air balloons drift high above Hegra with 360-degree views.
From peaceful hot air balloon rides to stargazing, astronomy, music and film, explore the highlights of previous years.
Are you ready to soar to new heights?
