Step back in time and immerse yourself in the living history of AlUla. Escape the typical tourist paths and enter the private, lush oasis of the Al-Joud Family Farm. Passed down through generations, this hidden gem opens its gates to offer you a rare, heartwarming glimpse into authentic Saudi heritage, rural life, and time-honored culinary traditions.
Be welcomed into a private family farm and connect with locals who love sharing their heritage. Stroll through lush palm groves, pick seasonal fruits straight from the trees (subject to season), and meet the friendly farm animals.
Indulge in a multi-course, homemade feast of ancient Saudi dishes rarely found in standard restaurants. Capture stunning photos in a peaceful, rustic AlUla oasis setting.
Your journey begins with the legendary warmth of Saudi hospitality. As you step onto the Al-Joud family estate, you’ll immediately feel the contrast between the majestic desert rocks of AlUla and this vibrant, green sanctuary.
Guided by your English-speaking hosts, wander through the farm, learning about the ancient agricultural techniques that have sustained life in the valley for centuries. Breathe in the scent of citrus and palms, pick seasonal fruits, and interact with the resident farm animals.
The absolute crown jewel of this experience is the Traditional Feast. Prepared with love by the family using closely guarded ancestral recipes, every bite tells a storey of AlUla’s culture. Dine in a beautifully arranged, cosy rustic setting, sharing stories with your hosts and discovering the rich spice routes that shaped Saudi cuisine.
Whether you choose a morning slot to catch the fresh oasis breeze or an evening slot under the starry AlUla sky, this is more than a tour—it's a memory that will stay with you forever.
