About the event

What is Winter at Tantora?

Winter at Tantora takes its name from an ancient sundial in AlUla's Old Town that marked the start of the winter planting season. The festival combines heritage experiences, concerts, fine dining and community celebrations in AlUla's landscapes and historic sites, including performances at the mirrored Maraya venue. It is part of AlUla Moments, the year-round events calendar run by the Royal Commission for AlUla.

The most recent edition ran from 18 December 2025 to 10 January 2026 under the theme "Winter Brings Us Together". Dates for 2026–27 had not been published at the time of writing. For hospitality, luxury and lifestyle brands, AlUla's setting makes striking content, and well-planned photo and video coverage helps partners make full use of it.
