Experience AlUla the Saudi way on a completely private desert Kashta that combines nature, culture, and local hospitality.
Unlike a typical desert safari, this experience is not focused on dune bashing or adventure driving. Instead, you’ll visit the striking Rainbow Arch, then settle into a peaceful desert setting where you’ll take part in preparing traditional Saudi coffee yourself while learning about its ingredients, serving customs, and importance in Saudi hospitality.
Enjoy the coffee you prepared with traditional dates, relax away from the usual tourist routes, and watch the sunset transform AlUla’s desert landscape.
With private transportation, hotel pickup and drop-off, and a dedicated Arabic- or English-speaking host, this is a relaxed and personal way to experience authentic Saudi desert culture.
