Sharaan Reserve nature safari

In your private vehicle, you will begin your journey as you head into the mountains toward the Sharaan Nature Reserve. This protected area is committed to preserving AlUla's natural landscape and re-establishing the rich diversity of plant-life and wildlife that were once indigenous to the area.

During your safari you will visit the Raqasat valley and the ‘Dancing Rocks’. These spectacular pieces of natural art have been shaped by wind and sand, creating a mirage of them moving in unison, as though dancing. Spend the afternoon delving into dramatic canyons while uncovering the secrets of ancient petroglyphs. Guided by your Conservation Guide, you’ll not only admire the intricate rock carvings but also gain insights into local folklore, learning the stories and traditions that bring this timeless art to life.

As the sun sets over Sharaan’s majestic canyons, unwind with refreshing drinks and canapés while taking in breathtaking valley views. Embark on a nocturnal eco-walk guided by a Conservation Guide, using UV lights to spot local wildlife.

Dinner features a South African "braai" in a stunningly lit canyon, blending hearty flavors with aromatic inspiration akin to Arabic grills. As night deepens, immerse yourself in the wonders of the cosmos with a guided stargazing session, complete with telescopes and an expert-led astronomy talk.
