As part of the Ancient Kingdoms Festival 2025, the “Hegra After Dark” event has illuminated AlUla’s evenings through captivating performances and stunning shows, according to the Saudi Press Agency.

By thoughtfully blending heritage with innovative performances, the event narrates Nabataean stories in a contemporary vision.

The experience makes its return this year after it secured a prestigious recognition as the Best Arts and Culture Event in the Middle East for 2025.

The Hegra After Dark offers visitors an immersive horse-drawn carriage tour through the region’s historical landmarks.

As darkness descends, AlUla’s skies come alive in a breathtaking spectacle with the award-winning “Stories from the Sky – The Drone Show,” recently recognized as the Kingdom’s Best Entertainment Show for 2025.

Through hundreds of synchronized drones, the show features dazzling light formations that narrate the story of AlUla’s successive civilizations. These formations reimagine the civilizations and the region’s cultural heritage in innovative visual displays.

Interestingly, the Ancient Kingdoms Festival 2025 will also welcome the return of the “Al-Hijr Evening” experience beginning November 26, alongside a wide range of cultural and heritage activities, providing visitors with unmissable experiences through interactive, educational, and fully integrated stations.
