Once a former fort, used for thepreservation of water, it has been transformed into a unique dining destination: Sky View Restaurant

Once a former fort, used for the collection and preservation of water, it has been transformed into a unique dining destination: Sky View Restaurant, offering unobstructed views from a sunken seating area within the basin.

As night falls over AlUla, Sky View glows softly above the desert — an evening shaped by light, stillness, and the quiet pleasure of dining under an endless sky.

The architecture integrates sunken seating and reflective basins, creating a striking scenographic effect at sunset and after dark — an example of conservative restoration that preserves the spirit of the original site.

With architecture and tailor-made design by @gioforma , the resort harmonizes contemporary aesthetics with the ancient charm of AlUla.

Discover @thechedihegra — a sanctuary of timeless elegance now open in AlUla, Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage site.
