World's Largest Mirrored Building Guinness World Records
Maraya
MIRRORING ALULA’S BEAUTY
AlUla is known for its breathtaking desert landscape and magnificent heritage sites. Its newest wonder, Maraya, rises from the sand like a mirage. Designed to blend into the surrounding landscape, the state-of-the-art structure is covered in mirrored panels reflecting AlUla’s beauty.
Maraya, which translates to “mirror” or “reflection” in Arabic, boasts 9,740 square metres of mirrors, making it the largest mirrored building in the world according to Guinness World Records.
The building, which acts as the home to AlUla’s growing arts and culture scene, is an extension of the native landscape that surrounds it. As it literally reflects wondrous cliffs, legendary rock formations and sumptuous sunsets, the building itself becomes a work of art.

The AlUla valley has been a crossroads of culture and heritage for centuries. Now, with the addition of experiences such as the Maraya, AlUla is emerging as a global cultural centre, combining ancient culture with modern art.
The best example is Maraya’s emergence was as the centrepiece of Winter at Tantora, the premier cultural festival. In Season Two of Winter at Tantora, Maraya hosted highly anticipated performances, VIP experiences and pop-up events, including concerts by global superstars such as Andrea Bocelli and Enrique Iglesias.
