These days, festivals are about more than enjoying great music or dining on delectable food. While those elements will certainly continue to serve as the primary attractions, the added bonus of an alluring destination will push travelers to voyage near and far for such gatherings, and the Winter at Tantora Festival—which runs until March 7—delivers just that.
Located in Saudi Arabia’s ancient Al-Ula valley, the arts and culture festival will open up one of the Kingdom’s hidden gems to global visitors.
Back for its second season, the 12-week festival will host a spectacular series of events and activities including music concerts (from Lionel Richie to Andrea Bocelli), art installations, spectacular hiking trails and even the option to see the historical area from the sky from the open cockpit of a vintage airplane. Really.
