Alula skies festival 27 FEBRUARY - 12 MARCH 2022
It's no secret that the fascinating geological landscapes of AlUla, from the volcanic plains to the ancient heritage sites, are best seen from the air. AlUla Skies was a two-week festival celebrating all things skies! The sky was alive with action, whether floating serenely over Hegra in a hot air balloon or seeing AlUla's most famous landmarks from above in a helicopter tour. Nighttime was no different, with an innovative take on stargazing that brought the world's longest drone show soaring through the night sky and a spine-tingling Symphony Under the Stars set under the magnificent Arc Rock. In AlUla, the sky is the limit!
AlUla Breaks the Guinness World Records™ Title
The World's Largest Hot Air Balloon Glow Show took place on 1st March 2022 as part of AlUla Skies. A total of 142 brightly-lit balloons were counted as part of this record-breaking feat. The previous record was also achieved in AlUla during its arts and cultural festival, Winter at Tantora, in 2019, that time with 100 balloons.
