Picture this: you’re amongst wide open spaces, a cloudless sky, a holistic narrative dating back thousands of years. Where are you? The AlUla Wellness Festival, of course.
A hub for wanderlusters, wellness seekers and culture enthusiasts, AlUla is at the top of every bucket list and what better way to experience this region than through a transformative journey. Tickets for the AlUla Wellness Festival start from SAR 200 (Dhs195) and you can explore all of the Five Senses Sanctuary here.
Let’s face it, a typical sheet mask and mindfulness podcast just won’t cut it – and this is your answer.
The AlUla Wellness Festival marks next instalment in the AlUla Moments calendar after the buzzing AZIMUTH music event.
From October 19 to November 4, 2023, AlUla will welcome a myriad of experts and guests to partake in a balanced schedule of experiential events, activities, panel talks and masterclasses geared towards exploring and optimizing physical, mental, and emotional heath.
Whether it’s through sound healing amid the desert dunes, morning walks, or candlelight meditation sessions, each activity during the festival led by the world’s leading practitioners brings us a little closer to our goal: restoration of mind, body and soul.
