Caravan Is The Habitas “Burning Man” In Saudi Arabia

Launching this month, Habitas will introduce Caravan by Habitas – its first immersive glamping experience for people seeking adventure, surprise and human connection.

The ethos behind the Caravan is to create human connection through play and bring out the inner child in guests. Known for its experience-led hospitality and environmentally conscious designs, Caravan AlUla will use airstreams to further demonstrate Habitas’ sustainable ethos and access unique locations. The Caravan rooms also feature a variety of hidden details such as coloring books, disco lights and a sound system that exist for no greater reason than to ensure a good time.

“We’ve chosen AlUla – one of the oldest cities in the Arabian Peninsula – as our first outpost for this new, immersive concept for its history, culture and natural heritage” Co-founder and CEO of Habitas, Oliver Ripley

Caravan AlUla’s spaces take influence from ancient Bedouins who traveled the land and incense routes. At the center of the U-shaped formation of the airstreams is the Gathering Tent, a communal place for guests to come together, explore, play and connect. Inspired by living spaces in traditional Saudi homes, the interiors are decorated with colorful antiques and heritage crafts from the Kingdom. The space is full of old games, books, toys, shisha, tea and other surprises to discover and at night, a large fire pit with circular seating invites guests to sit under the stars.

Moving around with off-road electric bikes, the travel experience also highlights an extensive wellness program. Guests will have access to all Habitas AlUla facilities including spa access and morning yoga and is followed by rituals and activities like the Bedouin Sound Sensorama, the Desert Clay Circle ceremony, essence-making and Candlelit Stargazing Yoga.
