🛶PROGRAM SUMMARY:

  • Step into a journey where ancient heritage, celestial wonder, and desert wellness converge. This 8-day immersive experience through Medina, Khaybar, AlUla, and the Gharameel Desert is designed for travelers seeking meaning, beauty, and rare encounters beyond conventional tourism. From sacred city landscapes to volcanic frontiers and deep-space skies, each day unfolds as a carefully choreographed passage through Arabia’s most extraordinary environments.

  • Your journey begins in Medina, the City of Light. After arrival and time to settle in, you are introduced to Medina’s spiritual atmosphere through a guided walking experience around the Prophet’s Mosque perimeter, mindfulness in sacred gardens, and tastings in vibrant date markets. Traditional Hijazi breakfasts and organic oasis lunches connect you to regional flavors, while sunset meditation offers a moment of stillness overlooking one of Islam’s most revered cities.

  • From Medina, the landscape transforms dramatically as you enter Khaybar’s volcanic frontier. Here, black basalt ridges stretch to the horizon, hiding prehistoric stone structures older than the pyramids. You hike across lava fields, experience the resonant acoustics of ancient lava tubes during a sound-bath meditation, and witness these mysterious landscapes from above on a helicopter survey. As evening falls, yoga atop volcanic plateaus prepares you for a night of pristine stargazing in the Black Stone Desert.

  • Arriving in AlUla’s Ashar Valley, towering sandstone cliffs frame a sanctuary of calm. Morning vinyasa sessions at the mirrored Maraya building reflect sky and stone into infinity. Thuraya wellness rituals and spa time restore body and mind, while canyon silence walks and oasis foraging connect you to the rhythms of desert life. A dedicated oasis day invites citrus harvesting, artisan bread making, and unhurried relaxation before deeper exploration.

  • Heritage comes alive in Hegra, Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Vintage Land Rovers carry you through monumental Nabataean tombs carved into rose-colored rock. You follow the ancient Incense Road through tasting menus inspired by historic trade routes, watch the sun set at Elephant Rock, and gather for astronomy storytelling with a local Rawi before a gourmet picnic beneath the Milky Way

  • The journey culminates in the Gharameel Desert, a realm of surreal sandstone monoliths and total darkness skies. A remote 4x4 expedition leads to one of the Middle East’s finest stargazing locations, where telescopes reveal galaxies and astrophotography workshops capture the cosmos. Dinner is prepared in a traditional underground Zarb oven, followed by Bedouin coffee and star-navigation tales beneath the Andromeda Galaxy.

  • After a final night under desert skies, you return to Medina for departure — carrying memories of sacred spaces, ancient civilizations, and infinite stars. This is not simply a tour, but a passage through time, silence, and sky.
