Location
Spanning over 2.2 hectares, the Barzan Living Gardens focused on the AlUla Oasis as a place of cultivation, as a resource and inspiration for art and creativity, and as a host of deep heritage and generational significance. Supported by friendly guides, guests explored this living landscape and discovered its stories through the eyes of locals.
A beautiful, designated trail was made through and around the site. Guests stopped along the trail to see significant heritage points, where guides explained the agriculture and wildlife in the area and led guests to various art areas.
