Food plays a central role in Ramadan, and AlUla’s participating hotels are making sure visitors can experience the best of it.

For a deeper historical experience, the Memories of Ramadan Night Tour takes guests on a torchlit journey through AlUla Old Town, guided by a local Rawi storyteller. Meanwhile, Harmony at Sunset, a Ramadan sound bath experience held on March 14, offers an opportunity for breathwork, reflection, and meditation, ending with the breaking of the fast.
