Take a morning flight to AlUla and enter the entire Yardang landform of the canyon. The vastness of the scenery is shocking. It takes about an hour to drive from the airport to the Asher Valley area, where the Banyan Tree Hotel, Our Habitas, and Maraya Concert Hall are located. Before arriving at the two hotels, a mirrored building suddenly appeared. It turns out that the Maraya Concert Hall is on the way to the hotel. Today, I chose to check in to the Banyan Tree first. The Banyan Tree Hotel covers a very large area, and the entire building is submerged in the canyon. The magnificent scenery and the details of the hotel make people enjoy it.

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.

#June2024 Ashar Valley Hotel AlUla This hotel is located in the famous canyon of Alila, with magnificent natural landscape. The hotel has various types of rooms and suites, as well as several restaurants and bars, creating an ideal leisure environment for travelers who like to get away from the hustle and bustle and immerse themselves in nature.

Located in the northwest of Saudi Arabia, the tourist destination AlUla (AlUla) welcomes a new series of hot air balloons. These balloons, adorned with the iconic landscapes of AlUla, dot the sky with vibrant colors, adding enchanting charm to the ancient realm. The Hero Balloon Flights offer an extraordinary perspective to overlook the magnificent landscape of AlUla from the sky, starting in October 2023. The newly added hot air balloons, through the world's largest full-digital printing process, vividly display pioneering pattern designs, accurately restoring the unique charm of AlUla, and bringing an unparalleled sensory experience to passengers and onlookers. The new hot air balloons include three themed designs that vividly depict AlUla's natural wonders and cultural heritage: 1. Hegra: Breathtaking historical relics. Hegra is Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage site, covering 52 hectares. The ancient tombs standing in the desert tell the epic story of AlUla. Floating in a hot air balloon above Hegra, enjoy the unique perspective of natural magic. 2. Arabian Leopard Day: The eye-catching image of the Arabian leopard. The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) of Saudi Arabia works together to preserve precious natural heritage and strive to restore ecological balance. This hot air balloon showcases the biodiversity of AlUla and also aims to draw global attention to the endangered Arabian leopard. 3. Khaybar: Exquisitely depicted volcanic terrain. For years, aviation archaeologists and photographers have tirelessly explored the stories of this lush oasis, using cutting-edge technology to find historical answers. Today, these unique geographical features make a stunning appearance above AlUla. AlUla, located in the Medina Province, is 1100 kilometers from the capital Riyadh and boasts an extremely rich natural and cultural heritage. Covering an area of 22,561 square kilometers, AlUla has a vast territory and diverse geological structures. The lush valley oases, towering sandstone mountain ranges, and historical and cultural sites that have stood for thousands of years, record the past of the Lihyan and Nabataean kingdoms' rule. One of AlUla's famous landmarks, Hegra, is the first cultural site in Saudi Arabia to be included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. This ancient city, which covers 52 hectares, was once the main southern city of the Nabataean Kingdom. More than a hundred tombs in Hegra are still well preserved today, and the sandstone carvings surrounding their facades remain as fresh as ever. AlUla also has many other fascinating historical and cultural heritages, including: the ancient Dadan (Dadan) -- the capital of the Dadan and Lihyan kingdoms, considered one of the most developed cities on the Arabian Peninsula in the first century BC; Jabal Ikmah, known as the 'open-air museum' for its hundreds of inscriptions in different languages; the labyrinthine old town of AlUla, consisting of over 900 mud-brick houses that can be traced back to at least the 12th century; and the key locations in the story of 'Lawrence of Arabia,' such as the Hejaz Railway and the Hegra Fort.
