Second Edition of AlUla Skies Festival Takes Off

As the sun rises over the ancient oasis city of AlUla, visitors will have the opportunity to experience the wonder of the desert from a bird's-eye view with a hot air balloon or helicopter ride. The AlUla Skies Festival, returning for a second year, will take place from April 26th to May 13th and offer a range of adventure, cultural, heritage, and entertainment experiences.

In addition to aerial adventures, the festival will feature stargazing, music shows, and astrophotography under AlUla's clear and unpolluted skies, which have become a magnet for stargazers. Attendees can also learn about how ancient Arab astronomers used the night sky as a navigation guide.

The festival offers a unique opportunity to explore AlUla's natural beauty and rich cultural heritage while enjoying a range of exciting activities.
