Hundreds of colourful kites took to the air as part of the fabulous sky-themed celebrations. Expert fliers sailed and twirled their kites gracefully through the air, before the public got a chance to try their kite-flying skills.

For the first time in AlUla, a multitude of kites took to the skies for the annual AlUla Skies Festival. Against piercing blue skies of AlUla’s iconic landscape, kites of all shapes, sizes and colours took flight to the delight of visitors of all ages. The event kicked off with a choreographed spectacle of kite flying and continued with kite-making workshops and more things kite-related.
