The story

AlUla Wellness Festival in AlUla

The AlUla Wellness Festival is an annual event held in AlUla's Ashar Valley combining yoga, fitness and outdoor sport programming with cultural and artistic activities, reaching its fifth edition in October 2025 with a duathlon race opening the festival alongside continued yoga and wellness offerings.

The AlUla Wellness Festival has grown over five editions into one of the region's more distinctive entries in the global wellness tourism calendar, largely because it refuses to treat wellness programming as separate from serious cultural and artistic content.
