AlUla Unveils Autumn 2025 Calendar of Major Events

Running from August 15th through November 1st, the next season of events in AlUla brings an eclectic mix of physical endurance, musical performance, and mindful escape, all set against the region’s sandstone cliffs and ancient heritage sites.

AlUla Desert Blaze | August 15th–16th

One of the region’s most physically demanding events returns as the AlUla Desert Blaze challenges runners across distances ranging from 5 km to a full 42 km marathon. With the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hegra towering in the distance, the race pushes competitors through rocky trails, desert heat, and sweeping historical landscapes.

AZIMUTH | September 25th–26th

Returning to Thanaya Valley, AZIMUTH merges electronic music and large-scale immersive art across two nights. Curated by MDLBEAST, the lineup brings regional and global talent to a performance space carved into the cliffs, where visuals, sound, and architecture meet under the desert sky.

AlUla Wellness Festival | October 24th-November 1st

As temperatures cool, the annual AlUla Wellness Festival invites visitors to slow down. The two-week programme features yoga, meditation, and art therapy sessions led by international instructors, along with musical performances, wellness-focused dining, and nature-based activities across serene desert settings.

Ashar Valley Triathlon | November 1st

Set in Habitas AlUla, the Ashar Valley Triathlon offers a unique three-part challenge: a 3,000m stationary bike ride, a 3,000m indoor row, and a 300m swim in the resort’s pool. Framed by the stillness of the valley, the event provides an intimate yet physically demanding experience for visiting athletes.
