AlUla is a destination of many facets, where luxury meets untamed nature, now with new and exclusive safari tours that bring the region’s wild beauty to the forefront. These newly launched experiences offer curious travelers the chance to discover a rarely seen side of AlUla—from thriving nocturnal wildlife to ancient heritage viewed in a completely new light.

Get acquainted with nature

Sharaan Platinum Lunch Safari: Embark on this luxurious new tour through the exclusive Sharaan Nature Reserve, a protected ecosystem now accessible for the first time via Platinum Heritage Saudi. In a specially curated adventure, guests will travel in style in Land Rover Defender 130s, navigating diverse landscapes—from dusty desert paths and towering canyons to serene grasslands and the area’s signature hexagonal rock formations. Along the way, you’ll encounter remarkable natural sandstone structures, spot unique wildlife, and enjoy a lavish South African “Braai” (grill) in the heart of the canyons.

Sharaan Platinum Dinner Safari: This new evening safari elevates the AlUla experience with an unforgettable blend of nature and luxury. The afternoon is dedicated to uncovering impressive rock formations etched with ancient stories, learning about local folklore and visiting lush fields filled with unique scents of the local flora. At sunset, sit back, relax atop a canyon that overlooks a stunning valley, and watch as the sun shares its last rays with Sharaan while indulging in canapes and refreshments. Upon arrival at the dinner camp, guests can be prepared to have their breath taken away by a magically lit canyon setting where they will spend the evening. The journey continues with a nocturnal eco-walk accompanied by UV lights and guided by an expert Conservation Guide. An exclusive cabana surrounded by untouched wilderness sets the environment as a private chef prepares a luxurious South African “Braai” for dinner. The evening concludes with a celestial experience – a stargazing session complete with a telescope and insightful astronomy talk.
