As part of the Saudi Arabia’s AlUla Skies Festival 2025, the governorate is hosting daily hot air balloon rides that soar above its archaeological and natural landmarks, offering visitors from around the world a breathtaking panoramic experience.

These rides are among the festival’s most popular attractions, giving guests the chance to float peacefully over AlUla’s serene landscapes, with sweeping views of its mountainous terrain, green oases, and iconic heritage sites such as Hegra, the first site in Saudi Arabia on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The experience is organized under the AlUla Moments event calendar, with the festival’s organizers aiming to provide a unique blend of adventure, serenity, and reflection, encapsulating the human connection with the sky and the universe, the central theme of the festival.

The AlUla Skies Festival will run through April 27 and includes a wide array of astronomical, educational, and cultural experiences that underscore AlUla’s growing status as a global destination for astrotourism.
