Sharaan Resort is one of the projects made by the Royal Commission for al-Ula in al-Madinah al-Munawwarah Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It revives the historical architectural style of al-Ula as a part of "al-Ula Vision". The resort features luxurious units and suites, a wellness center, and a modern facility for events and conferences, offering comprehensive services to its visitors. The resort serves as a starting point for a series of resorts and hotels planned for al-Ula. The resort is designed by French architect Jean Nouvel.

Sharaan Resort and al-Ula Vision

On February 10, 2019, the launch ceremony for "al-Ula Vision" was held to announce its plan for the responsible development of al-Ula, aiming to transform it into a global heritage destination while preserving the province's natural and cultural heritage. The ceremony included a presentation on Sharaan Resort, a resort carved into the mountains, featuring several hotel suites and an innovative space equipped with the latest technological services for hosting summits, business leaders, CEOs, and others. It will be outfitted with the latest technological amenities to accommodate and host high-level meetings and summits on both regional and global scales. The ceremony also included the launch of the Sharaan Nature Reserve by the Royal Commission for al-Ula. The reserve contributes to the protection of areas with exceptional environmental value and will work to restore the natural balance in the province between wildlife and the desert environment.

Location and importance of Sharaan Resort

Sharaan Resort is located in a valley deep inside the Sharaan Nature Reserve. The reserve was specially chosen for its dramatic landscape configuration made of high cliffs, rocky plateaus, and spectacular sand dunes.

Inspired by the Nabatean Kingdom, Sharaan Resort is located in the towering mountains of al-Ula. The aim is for al-Ula to become the largest living museum in the world, as well as a global destination and a leader in arts, culture, nature, and heritage. This aligns with Saudi Vision 2030, transforming al-Ula into a world-class tourist destination, contributing to the diversification of the local economy while preserving al-Ula's heritage, history, and natural environment. The resort revives the historical architectural style of al-Ula.
