(I walked for 40 minutes) lol On the way there, a kind Macau person gave me a ride🫶 Thank you! Uber doesn't come often and local taxis are expensive, so if you have an international driver's license, it's probably better to rent a car! #overseastravel #SaudiArabia #touristspots #photogenictrip #AlUla #MiddleEast #girlstrip

It reflects reality in illusion and hides illusion in reality, ancient times surround modern times, and modern times echo ancient times. The same Maraya Concert Hall as in "Backpacker 5" is located in Al-'Ula, Saudi Arabia. It is currently the world's largest mirrored building in the Guinness World Records. It is covered with 9,740 square meters of mirrors. Externally, it reflects the starry sky, sun, moon, and the vastness and magnificence of the desert. Internally, it is a cultural center and concert hall that can accommodate 500 people. From a distance, it looks like a mirage appearing out of nowhere in the desert.

I am a little reluctant to leave AlUla. The entire area of ​​AlUla is a canyon desert Yardang landform, which is vast and rocky. No matter where you are, you can enjoy 360-degree spectacular views. In particular, Ashar Valley, Banyan Tree, Our Habitas, Caravan Park and Malaya Mirror Hall are all in this area. Ashar Valley is also a resort area with north and south gates. To enter this area, you need to stay in a hotel or make a reservation at the Malaya Concert Hall. If you drive in from the south gate, you will see the Malaya Concert Hall on the road leading to the two hotels. The room at the Banyan Tree Hotel we stayed in was directly opposite the concert hall. The perfect combination of hotels and natural scenery makes AlUla and both hotels truly top the list of travel destinations.

The Banyan Tree rooms face the Maraya Concert Hall. At sunset, I visited this giant mirrored building again. The building is hidden in the orange canyon, creating a psychedelic light and shadow effect. Back at the hotel, the sky turned pink. During Ramadan, the hotel offers a special Ramadan buffet and a bonfire, creating a fantastic atmosphere. Looking up at night, the starry sky is truly mesmerizing.

golden hours at MARAYA. the largest mirrored building in the world ☀️ #maraya #visitsaudiarabia
