Experience the first-ever major polo tournament in the desert next month in AlUla. This monumental competition is the Richard Mille AlUla Desert Polo tournament, which will run from February 11th to February 12th 2022, during the Winter at Tantora festival. Attendees of the cultural festival are invited to join the polo patrons and enthusiasts at the game-changing tournament. You can sit back – or at the edge of your seat – as you watch players from the La Dolfina Polo team compete against each other in the gorgeous arena.
The Richard Mille AlUla Desert Polo tournament is one of the first events in the region that metabolises institutional efforts to promote the Arabian horseback riding legacy in Saudi Arabia. AlUla is the epicentre for the rollout of this equestrian strategy, as horseback riding is a large part of the region’s cultural identity.
Officials and advocates backing this push aim to make AlUla a world-class hub for equestrian events and experiences. This desert region is ideal for these fanfare advances since it holds a rich cultural and visual history for people to ride through, like Hegra. The ancient site is close to the Richard Mille AlUla Desert Polo tournament arena and solidifies that these events are not just entertaining; they’re packed with cultural significance.

A global audience is set to line the stage at the Richard Mille AlUla Desert Polo tournament, many of whom might be visiting the region for the first time. As interest in equestrian continues to build in Saudi Arabia, these cultural events will become more in-demand. There are already more lined up for the coming weeks, like the Ikmah Fashion Cavalry. This schedule shows promise in the future of equestrian in AlUla, and we can’t wait to see how it develops.
