AlUla's Food Scene Moves Beyond the Tourist Trail
AlUla's evolving dining scene offers more than scenic backdrops and heritage sites, blending local produce with world-class hospitality across Old Town courtyards, eco-resorts, and desert hotels. AlUla may be known for its sandstone tombs and dramatic desert canyons, but the Saudi town is also quietly becoming a culinary destination. From open-air meals under date palms to Michelin-starred takes on muttabaq, AlUla's food scene offers a grounded alternative to the tourist-heavy offerings seen elsewhere. Rather than rely on spectacle, most restaurants in AlUla focus on ecology and locality. Many source ingredients from surrounding farms, private gardens, and the palm-lined oasis itself. The dining experience often takes place in restored mudbrick homes, heritage courtyards, or resorts designed to reflect the region's architecture. The result is a dining scene shaped by memory, landscape, and intention. Here are some standout spots to check out during your next AlUla trip... Harrat – Banyan Tree Located inside the five-star Banyan Tree resort, Harrat offers seafood, Middle Eastern mezze, pasta, and grilled dishes in a dining room lined with handmade rugs and locally crafted ceramics. It currently holds the top spot for restaurants in AlUla on TripAdvisor. Suhail – Old Town Set in a restored mudbrick structure, Suhail serves modern Saudi cuisine with both indoor and open-air seating. Its simple, elegant design offers a calm break after some exploring - a soft landing after a day in the dunes. AlNakheel Café – Old Town Known for its clay-oven bread and views of the surrounding mountains, AlNakheel Café specialises in grilled meats and traditional muttabaq served in generous sharing portions. Heart of the Oasis Surrounded by palms and historic dwellings, this restaurant offers fire-cooked dishes, slow-roasted meats, and fusion options in a courtyard setting, with an open kitchen adding to the experience. Tama – Habitas AlUla Located at Habitas resort, Tama builds its menu around ingredients from nearby farms. Dishes include moringa ribeye, vegan bowls, sticky date cake, and regional staples like Umm Ali. Tawlet Fayza – Old Town Named after a local woman known for her hospitality, Tawlet Fayza serves Middle Eastern dishes made with produce sourced from local gardens and farms. Both the setting and menu are designed to evoke home cooking. Joontos – Dar Tantora At this boutique heritage hotel, Michelin-starred chef Jaume Puigdengolas creates a refined menu of Saudi-inspired cuisine served from breakfast through dinner in AlUla's Old Town.

Guests will enjoy a comprehensive range of premium facilities, including a wellness centre with private treatment rooms, meditation areas, and dedicated spaces for yoga and holistic healing; an elegant 1,500 sq m ballroom and expansive outdoor event lawn for weddings and large social or corporate gatherings; well-equipped meeting rooms for business travellers; a vibrant all-day dining restaurant; a lobby café offering light gourmet fare; a large outdoor swimming pool with an adjoining kids' pool; and a dedicated kids club providing engaging activities in a safe and stimulating environment.

It is the second Dusit-branded property confirmed for Saudi Arabia, following the upcoming opening of Dusit Princess Al Majma'ah, Riyadh, scheduled for Q4 this year.

Middle Eastern Marvels Shortlisted for 2025 Aga Khan Award
From revived medinas to rainbow domes, Middle Eastern projects on the 2025 Aga Khan shortlist celebrate heritage, innovation and community-driven design across the region. The 2025 Aga Khan Award for Architecture shortlist is here, and the Middle East is in the spotlight. From Egypt's revived markets to Iran's vibrant domes, these standout projects offer fresh visions of culture and community. Revitalisation of Historic Esna, Egypt Once overlooked in Upper Egypt, Esna is now buzzing with new life thanks to a revitalisation project by Takween Integrated Community Development. This initiative addresses cultural tourism challenges in Upper Egypt, focusing on inclusive growth and protecting the city's rich heritage. Fifteen architecturally significant sites have been restored, markets have been upgraded, and historic buildings given fresh purpose. Local materials and traditional techniques are at the core, while over 430 local participants, many of whom are women, are now empowered to shape Esna's future. Majara Complex and Community Redevelopment, Hormuz Island, Iran Known as the 'rainbow island' for its multicoloured mountains, Hormuz was once a vital trading port before conflict took its toll. Now, the Majara Complex by ZAV Architects is rewriting its story. Majara Residence offers comfortable tourist and art/design residency accommodation, along with all-community spaces like a public library, oral history studios, and a recycling centre. Drawing inspiration from the island's richly coloured soils and varied textures, 200 domes of different sizes are organically grouped throughout the site, forming an energetic, welcoming destination that bridges Hormuz's heritage with its creative ambitions. Jahad Metro Plaza, Tehran, Iran As Tehran's car-dominated expansion erodes the fabric of urban life, Jahad Metro Plaza is part of a movement to reclaim the city for its people. Designed by KA Architecture Studio, the plaza reinvents a major intersection with striking handmade brickwork, built rapidly and resourcefully by local craftspeople, a nod to Iran's architectural legacy and a revival of materials once central to the city's identity. Iranian wood adds warmth and authenticity, while arched vaults create a strong visual connection across different levels. Natural airflow and daylight fill the interiors, making the plaza both sustainable and inviting. Shamalat Cultural Centre, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Aiming to weave historic spaces into the fabric of daily life, Shamalat Cultural Centre, designed by Syn Architects, sits on the edge of Diriyah. This creative hub was born from the transformation of a traditional mud house, into a venue for arts and community engagement. The centre's design is rooted in local context, offering flexible spaces for exhibitions, performances, and workshops. Its architecture is both contemporary and deeply respectful of Saudi traditions, providing a platform for cultural exchange and creative expression. Revitalisation of Lalla Yeddouna Square, Fez, Morocco Set in one of the world's largest UNESCO heritage sites, the medina of Fez, the revitalisation of Lalla Yeddouna Square stands out as a community-chosen transformation. Selected by locals through a competition and led by Mossessian Architecture and Yassir Khalil Studio, the project reconnects the square to the riverfront and breathes new life into the heart of the old city. With the restoration of the historic bridge and 11 existing buildings, plus nine new structures, this renewal elegantly blends Fez's storied past with a vibrant, contemporary spirit. Morocco Pavilion, Expo Dubai 2020 The Morocco Pavilion at Expo Dubai 2020, designed by OUALALOU+CHOI, is a celebration of heritage and innovation. Serving as a model for how traditional rammed-earth techniques can be adapted with modern technology, the pavilion brings together exhibition spaces, restaurants, shops, and offices around a sunlit courtyard. A gently winding ramp, evoking the meandering streets of a Moroccan medina, connects its many levels, offering visitors a contemporary journey through Moroccan culture and craftsmanship. Wonder Cabinet, Bethlehem, Palestine Overlooking the dramatic Al-Karkafeh Valley in Bethlehem, the Wonder Cabinet, designed by AAU Anastas, is a non-profit, multi-purpose exhibition and production space designed to spark creativity across the region. It's more than just a gallery, this hub is dedicated to empowering Palestinian artists, engineers, designers, and makers by providing collaborative workspaces and fostering a culture of artisanal learning. The visitor experience is immersive: sweeping views open up to the valley, while a dramatic vertical void draws guests down to the underground levels, seamlessly linking all floors and inviting exploration at every turn. The Ned Hotel, Doha, Qatar The former Ministry of Interior building, an icon of Middle Eastern brutalism, has been reborn as a 90-room boutique hotel with seven restaurants. Carefully restored and topped with a new floor, The Ned features lush gardens, art installations, and a podium shaded by concrete ribs. Inside, the hotel's heart is a lively courtyard surrounded by bars and restaurants, while the rooftop spa and club lounge offer panoramic views of the Persian Sea and Doha skyline.
