Winter at Tantora / AlUla Moments
Winter at Tantora / AlUla Moments takes place Dec 2026 - Mar 2027 (season-long program; individual event dates via AlUla Moments) in AlUla, Saudi Arabia. The dress code is Smart casual by day with warm layers for cold desert nights; Maraya concerts skew elegant. Typical cost ranges from 300 to 1500 EUR per person.
A season-long winter cultural program set in AlUla's ancient oasis, spanning concerts inside Maraya - the mirrored hall that vanishes into the desert - plus hot-air balloon festivals, stargazing and heritage tours around the Nabataean tombs of Hegra. It has transformed a remote crossroads of the incense route into one of the region's marquee winter escapes.

How to attend
Book concert tickets, balloon rides, Hegra tours and stay packages through experiencealula.com as each event is announced across the season. Fly into AlUla direct from Riyadh or Jeddah (plus seasonal international routes) or drive about 3 hours from Medina. Marquee concerts sell out quickly.
Insider tip
Maraya concert tickets are the bottleneck of the whole season - secure those first; Hegra tours and balloon slots are far easier to add afterwards.
