Few destinations reflect the depth of Saudi Arabia’s story quite like AlUla. Shaped over millennia, its ancient landscapes, enduring heritage and evolving cultural identity offer a remarkable setting in which to mark Saudi National Day. This September, Banyan Tree AlUla celebrates the occasion from the heart of Ashar Valley, inviting guests to experience the destination through its landscape, culture, wellbeing and sense of place.
Available from 22 to 26 September 2026, the Saudi National Day offer gives guests the opportunity to spend the long weekend immersed in Ashar Valley, where days unfold between the quiet of the desert, shared experiences and moments rooted in Saudi culture. Rates start from SAR 1,932 per night, with a complimentary upgrade to a Pool Villa, subject to availability.
Adding another dimension to the stay are the Ashar Valley Experiences, a programme designed to bring guests closer to the landscape and character of AlUla. At Banyan Tree AlUla, mornings can begin with yoga as the valley comes to life, while Arabic lessons offer an introduction to the language and culture of the Kingdom. As the day unfolds, guests can explore their surroundings on an Ashar Valley Bike & Photo Tour, capturing the monumental sandstone formations along the way, or turn to creativity through the Desert Art Workshop and the Japanese craft of Kintsugi. After nightfall, stargazing shifts attention to AlUla’s expansive desert skies, bringing the day to a close beneath the stars.
The experiences form part of the wider Ashar Valley Experiences programme, with guests receiving an Ashar Valley Passport to guide their journey and record the experiences completed during their stay. Together, they offer different ways of engaging with the valley – through movement, creativity, culture and the natural environment – while giving the Saudi National Day weekend a deeper connection to its AlUla setting.
Between experiences, guests can return to the privacy of Banyan Tree AlUla’s villas, framed by the dramatic landscapes of Ashar Valley, with time to unwind and enjoy the resort at their own pace. The stay also includes daily breakfast, 20% off food and beverage, complimentary stays and dining for children, and flexible 24-hour check-in and check-out.
Starting from SAR 1,932 per night, the Saudi National Day offer is available for stays from 22 to 26 September 2026, bringing together time in one of the Kingdom’s most distinctive landscapes with experiences that reveal more of AlUla along the way.
