AlUla Arabian Leopard Week

Feb 10, 2023 - Feb 12, 2023

The first annual Arabian Leopard Week was inspired by the world's smallest big cat. These majestic creatures symbolise strength, beauty and elegance. Events took place across AlUla raising awareness for these Critically Endangered cats.

AlUla Arabian Leopard Week
Indigenous to AlUla and Critically Endangered, the Arabian Leopard is among the rarest, with fewer than 200 adults living in the wild. A large part of imagining the future is protecting what is valuable and vulnerable in the present. By raising awareness, Arabian Leopard Week brought people together to work toward a more positive future for these majestic animals.

10 & 11 Feb

Digital Exhibition

Visitors gained knowledge about the rare, beautiful and Critically Endangered Arabian Leopard during this unforgettable experience, as historical facts and artistic expressions of the cat appeared on AlUla's canyon terrain. An integrative and experiential art exhibit, this Digital Exhibition featured projections, holograms, augmented reality and music, all inspired by this graceful creature.

Arabian Leopard Celebration Trail

Visitors walked along the Arabian Leopard Celebration Trail, one of several Catwalk Trails launched all over the world. The location was carefully selected - not far from where Arabian Leopards may one day be reintroduced into the wild. The sandy dunes, hidden gullies and beautiful rock formations of the Sharaan Nature Reserve on this 7km trail made for a beautiful outdoor experience.
