Jetsetter Trips has handpicked the most remarkable experiences in AlUla, all delivered with absolute privacy, personalized service, and cultural depth:

1. Hot Air Balloon Flight at Sunrise

Drift high above AlUla’s sandstone cliffs and date-palm oases. As the desert below awakens in hues of pink and gold, enjoy a champagne toast aloft. A sunrise you’ll never forget.

2. Helicopter Tour of AlUla’s Wonders

Fly over UNESCO-listed Hegra, the ancient Nabataean necropolis carved into rock. Your private pilot also glides you past Elephant Rock, Jabal Ikmah’s ancient inscriptions, and the dazzling Maraya Concert Hall, the world’s largest mirrored building.

3. Private Arabian Horse Ride Through Ashar Valley

Saddle up for an intimate ride through AlUla’s copper-colored valleys with a professional equestrian guide. The silence of the desert and the rhythm of hooves create a cinematic moment few get to live.

4. VIP Archaeological Tour of Hegra & Dadan

Explore tombs, ancient ruins, and 1st-century marvels with your own cultural guide. Learn the secrets of AlUla’s former civilizations in a way no standard tour can offer.

What You’ll Eat: Desert Dining at Its Finest

  • Saffron-infused fine dining under the stars: A private table in the desert, with curated wine pairings and live oud music.
