Alula Old Town

BHD 50.000
Description

For nearly a thousand years, AlUla's Old Town in Saudi Arabia has sustained a rich, uninterrupted history, safeguarding its traditional way of life through extensive conservation projects. The Dar Tantora hotel exemplifies these efforts, seamlessly blending heritage with a forward-looking approach. AlUla Old Town: An Oasis of Heritage chronicles the transformation of a section of AlUla Old Town into a luxurious eco-lodge, beautifully captured by Oliver Pilcher's photography. The AlJadidah area within the Old Town thrives as a cultural and culinary hub, boasting a lively art scene and vibrant market stalls. Nestled just minutes away from the natural abundance of the AlUla Oasis, the Old Town offers a unique opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in a bygone era, living in harmony with both nature and history.
