The locals of AlUla have been celebrating the “Tantora” for generations. The Tantora itself is a sundial used by the local people not only to tell time, but also to mark the beginning of the winter planting season. This culturally significant season has always been filled with festivities.
While Winter at Tantora is an extravagant month-long festival, the Tantora Celebration is a 3-day celebration focusing on sharing the traditions and culture of AlUla.
