Henna & Heritage: A Women's Afternoon
A women-only afternoon in the Old Town: a walk with a female guide between the mud-brick houses and the stories of AlUla's women, then a henna session in heritage patterns by local artists who serve the group in rotation, with tea and homemade maamoul. A warm afternoon lived by women alone among lanes that hold centuries. Runs on alternating Thursdays across the season (Oct 2026 – Mar 2027).
