Wellness reimagined in AlUla

18 days of transformations and inner peace

The AlUla Wellness Festival is returning for its third edition, taking place from October 19 to November 4. This year, the festival delves even deeper into the core of wellness, aiming to provide enriching and holistic experiences like never before.

At the heart of this year's festival lies a profound appreciation for the healing power of silence, art, and nature. With the guidance of world-class industry experts and wellness practitioners, including Anas Bukhash, Hala Kazim, Haya Sawan and Dr Khaled Ghattas, AlUla is reinforcing its status as a sanctuary for inner well-being, revitalising the mind, body, and soul.

Over the course of 18 days, festival-goers will have the opportunity to engage in an eclectic slate of events, escaping the urban hustle, immersing themselves in the tranquil, serene landscapes of AlUla and giving them a chance to rediscover themselves. AlUla's historic treasures serve as a unique backdrop, offering a tangible connection to the past, and promoting physical, mental, and social well-being.
