Silent Weekend with Ghalia Almadani
As part of AlUla's Wellness festival, Husaak has carefully curated 3 Wellness Weekend Events. Elevate your senses whilst being surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of AlUla as you take on a range of silent experiences including stargazing, hiking and cycling.
Detox from technology and mindless chatter as you connect with nature and embark on a journey inward through silent activities, meditation and yoga. Each weekend has a guest speaker who will host a purposeful discussion on how fitness plays a part in their life, the healthy habits they practise and tips for incorporating wellness into your everyday life.
The camp is located in the heart of the Hidden Valley, surrounded by sandstone mountains. There are toilets and basic wash facilities onsite but no power and network coverage is limited.
