Saudi artists showcasing a new exhibition in AlUla

AlUla is a buzzing cultural hub.

From the traditional mud-brick buildings of Old Town and the luxurious oases of desert resorts such as Habitas AlUla and Banyan Tree AlUla to hosting numerous massive names in music at the iconic, mirrored Maraya, and the UNESCO recognised stone carvings of Jabal Ikmah: AlUla's cultural potential extends far beyond the sandy landscape.

A leading art gallery since its opening in 2009, ATHR Art Gallery was founded by Mohammed Hafiz and Hamza Serafi and since has become one the Kingdom's most well-known contemporary art galleries at home and abroad.
