AlUla's winter season starts with the Ancient Kingdoms Festival, from 26 November to 12 December 2026, across Hegra, Dadan, Jabal Ikmah and AlUla Old Town in north-west Saudi Arabia. Its music centrepiece is Hegra Candlelit Classics: live music by candlelight among the Nabataean tombs of Hegra, the country's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. No performers or concert dates are listed yet.
Winter at Tantora follows from 17 December 2026 to 9 January 2027, with concerts and performances across the Old Town, the oasis, Hegra and the desert. The organiser promises everything from intimate concerts to headline acts but has not named any artists.
Last season, Maraya, the mirrored concert hall in the Ashar valley, announced concerts inside Winter at Tantora on 19 December and 9 January, with more promised. This season's Maraya dates are not published yet, so check experiencealula.com before you book.
