Celebrating a long legacy of horsemanship, AlUla welcomes the world to the premier equestrian endurance event in November, 2026.
With millennia of equestrian heritage etched into its sandstone cliffs, AlUla has long honoured the sacred bond between human and horse. This legacy will reach new heights as AlUla hosts the prestigious 2026 FEI Endurance World Championship on 29 November, 2026 - a global event that cements AlUla’s standing on the international equestrian stage.
Over the years, AlUla has transformed into a premier destination for elite equestrian events. From the world’s richest endurance race - the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Endurance Cup - to the thrilling Tent Pegging and Horseback Archery Championships, AlUla has proven its ability to blend world-class sporting standards with deep cultural reverence.
Central to this achievement is the state-of-the-art AlFursan Equestrian Village, a purpose-built complex complete with an equine hospital, training facilities, and infrastructure that meets the highest international benchmarks - offering a seamless experience for athletes, horses, and visitors alike.
