Over 500 Runners Conquer AlUla's Harsh Desert Terrain
The third edition of the AlUla Desert Blaze concluded on Saturday night, with more than 500 runners from Saudi Arabia and across the globe competing in one of the most gruelling desert races in the region. Held at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Hegra, the event offered a choice of four race categories: 5 km, 10 km, 21.1 km, and 42.2 km. Starting early at 8:00 AM, the runners were tested not only by the physical demands of the race but also by the extreme desert conditions. The course, designed to challenge participants of varying endurance levels, weaved through the iconic AlUla desert landscape, past spectacular natural formations, canyons, and the lush oases scattered throughout the region. Notable landmarks, such as the Maraya concert hall, added a unique backdrop to the race, offering competitors an opportunity to witness the convergence of history, culture, and nature. Organised by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Sport and AlUla's local authorities, the event is increasingly becoming one of the most anticipated endurance challenges in the region. Runners from various countries, including the United States, Europe, and several Middle Eastern nations, gathered to compete, adding a global dimension to the race. The competitive nature of the event was evident as athletes pushed their limits under the desert sun, with both seasoned marathoners and newcomers testing their abilities on the demanding terrain. ADVERTISEMENT The 42.2 km race, which marks the ultimate test of endurance, saw several professional athletes who are familiar with desert marathons. However, it was also an event for amateurs and adventure seekers, some of whom were taking part in their first marathon. Local runners, often seen in regional events, stood alongside international participants, creating a fusion of talent and determination across all categories. The race route included stretches of dry desert paths, sandy dunes, and rocky outcrops, testing both the mental and physical stamina of participants. Each kilometre brought a new challenge, with runners navigating extreme temperatures, occasional steep climbs, and uneven ground. Aid stations were strategically placed along the route to support competitors with water, nutrition, and first aid. The event's organisers made sure the runners were equipped with sufficient resources, ensuring their safety during the arduous race. For many, the allure of participating in the AlUla Desert Blaze extended beyond the challenge of completing the race. The majestic desert surroundings, rich in history, served as a powerful motivator. Hegra, the starting point of the race, is home to Nabatean tombs and petroglyphs, some of which date back more than 2,000 years. Runners had the opportunity to glimpse these historic structures during their journey, connecting them with the ancient civilisation that once thrived in the area. The race also highlighted the Kingdom's growing focus on sports tourism and its vision of transforming AlUla into a global destination for cultural and sporting events. The Saudi government has made significant investments in developing the region's infrastructure, aiming to attract both international tourists and athletes. The AlUla Desert Blaze is an important part of this strategy, showcasing the Kingdom's commitment to blending adventure with heritage. This year's edition witnessed a strong showing from local runners, with several Saudi athletes taking top spots in the 10 km and half marathon categories. These athletes, some of whom train in the challenging desert conditions, have established themselves as contenders in regional and international endurance events. Their success at the AlUla Desert Blaze further emphasises the rising prominence of Saudi runners on the global stage. ADVERTISEMENT The event also brought attention to the growing trend of desert races worldwide. While the AlUla Desert Blaze is unique in its combination of scenic beauty, historical significance, and the physical demands of the desert, it is part of a broader movement towards extreme races that take place in some of the world's harshest environments. These events have drawn participants who thrive on pushing their physical limits and experiencing the raw beauty of nature in its most unfiltered form. Among the race's participants were many who took part for personal reasons, whether to raise awareness for charity or to overcome personal challenges. For some, completing the race was a personal victory that transcended the need for a podium finish. The AlUla Desert Blaze thus became not only a competitive event but also a celebration of perseverance, community, and personal achievement.

Restaurant review: The Bombay Club
We stepped into The Bombay Club at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab with clear expectations, and left with something more. The space is warm and intimate, with an open kitchen and a tandoori oven that's part of the art of Indian cooking itself. Led by Chef Manav Tuli, the menu honours Bombay's culinary roots with dishes that feel familiar but offer a contemporary take on the classics. Great Indian food is rich, spiced, layered, vibrant, fragrant, smoky, and hearty, and The Bombay Club knows how to bring it all together. The spot Image: Supplied You'll find The Bombay Club on the ground floor of Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab. It's dimly lit, wood-heavy and high on retro. The kind of place that feels like a hidden Bombay retreat, with vintage charm and art details throughout. There's a show kitchen in one corner, with a tandoori oven that adds warmth and a homey feel. It's lively, but still feels intimate, just as suited to a laid-back dinner with friends as it is to a quiet date night. The vibe There's a quiet confidence here. It's not trying to be trendy, which makes it even more special. It feels like someone's retro-style home with a refined touch of chic interiors, giving off an elegant yet comfortable vibe. The food Image: Supplied The Bombay Club's menu is a mix of Bombay street food favourites, but it also dives deeper into regional specialties from Goa, Hyderabad, and other parts of India. The dishes showcase India's diverse flavours, with rich spices and authentic recipes that are perfect for sharing. The service Images: Supplied The team knows their stuff. Expect smart recommendations. They'll also share facts about the food's origin or spice mix if you ask. There's a sense of storytelling behind the menu in a way that connects you to where the food comes from. What to order Images: Supplied Chef Manav Tuli, known for his work at Hong Kong's Michelin-starred Chaat, brings a focused, heritage-led approach to Indian cooking. The menu explores the flavours of Bombay through the lens of India's royal kitchens; rich and perfect to share. Starters include the chutney set (sweet lime, tomato, mint, beetroot, chili), the signature guinea fowl samosa, keema pav with soft milk buns, and tiger prawns in a punchy Goan balchao. From the tandoor, there's chicken sooley, wagyu beef cheek, Konkani lamb chop, and a standout chestnut paneer tikka. Mains include a perfectly creamy smoked butter chicken, while the Hyderabadi dal and naan basket round things out. The Masala Chai is the ideal finish; sweet, soothing, and just perfect after a hearty meal. What's on the bill Prices lean towards the premium side. Starters sit around Dhs80–Dhs120, tandoor mains range from Dhs98–Dhs218. It's a special spot that works just as well for a date night as it does for a dinner with friends or when you want to take someone visiting the city somewhere special. The final say A solid new addition to Dubai's Indian dining scene – comforting, vibrant, and rich, all in a stunning setting, and it's here to stay.
