Far from the usual tourist hotspots, some 25km away from Hegra, Caravan by Habitas AlUla is a glamping experience that promises adventure, surprise, and meaningful connections.

Tucked away in a secluded spot within Saudi’s stunning Ashar Valley, this destination is not just a unique stay, it’s a gateway to exploration and discovery. Upon arrival, the beauty of the natural surroundings is striking.

Set against a backdrop of towering sandstone cliffs and endless expanses of iconic red sands, the resort is tranquillity and mystery rolled into one.

Accommodation

Drawing inspiration from the ancient caravanserais — a roadside lodge providing weary travellers with a place to rest and recuperate after a long day's journey — of the Silk Road, the luxury Airstreams blend modern comfort with traditional allure. With sweeping views of the surrounding canyons and date palm oases, each caravan offers an immersive experience in nature, a unique juxtaposition that pays homage to the rich history of the region, once home to the ancient Nabataean kingdom.

Step inside your oasis on wheels, where maximum comfort meets the raw beauty of the desert. The spacious and inviting interiors are adorned with plush furnishings and elegant decor. Enjoy the convenience of an en suite bathroom, air conditioning for those hotter desert days, and a private outdoor deck where you can soak in the scenery.

Whether you opt for an Oasis or Valley Caravan, you'll find yourself immersed in luxury from the moment you arrive. Choose between twin or queen beds for a restful night's sleep under the desert stars, and each caravan comes equipped with a surround sound system.

Dining Options

Dining here is more than just having a good meal; it's a culinary adventure. Whimsical food trucks are ready to cater to every craving. From the pink holographic ice cream truck to the vintage-inspired pizza and locally inspired coffee and juice ones, there's something for everyone.

For those seeking a more classic dining experience, Tama (which means here and now in Aramaic) offers a chic and sophisticated setting that sets the stage for a meal inspired by global and Middle Eastern cuisines. Using locally sourced produce, with fresh ingredients and spices once traded along the Incense Route, each dish at the restaurant tells a story of Saudi's rich culinary heritage.

Amenities

Aside from the striking accommodation and dining options, Caravan by Habitas AlUla's entire layout is also an experience in itself. Its common lounge areas pay tribute to authentic Bedouin traditions and aesthetic, with comfy cushions and a main tent where guests can gather, chat, play board and card games, and enjoy meals together.

It's a lively scene, buzzing with talks, performances, and cool art installations that really bring the desert vibe to life. And that's just the start. There's also a world of experiences waiting for you – from outdoor Cinema Club movie nights and chill yoga sessions to bicycle rentals and table tennis.

Venture over to Our Habitas AlUla, located three minutes away by car, for additional activities. With complimentary shuttles available on site, it’s easy to enjoy activities such as stargazing and canyon sound baths while there. After a full day of exploring, it’s time to relax and unwind at Thuraya Wellness, located at the sister property but accessible to guests staying at Caravan AlUla.

From restorative messages to tailored beauty rituals, all treatments at the centre start with a Mastika Ritual and end with a Bakhoor Al Arabi Ritual – two fragrant natural ingredients known in Arabian culture to invite connection, cleanse the body, and clear the mind. The hub also offers personal training sessions and a variety of fitness and wellness activities such as tai chi and tapping.
