Thirty earth-clad suites woven into the centuries-old mudbrick houses of AlUla Old Town, restored by architect Shahira Fahmy. At night the rooms and lanes are lit almost entirely by candle and lantern — close to 1,800 of them — with electricity reserved for the bathrooms. A 2024 TIME World's Greatest Places honouree, it is the most atmospheric and characterful stay in the region.

Why we recommend it

An immersive, lived-in piece of AlUla's history — character no purpose-built resort can manufacture.
