Three New Luxury Resorts Will Open in the Heart of Saudi's Wadi Safar

Saudi Arabia’s Wadi Safar, located on the outskirts of Riyadh and west of Diriyah, is set to welcome three new luxury resorts, signalling a significant boost to the region's hospitality sector. The renowned hospitality brands Six Senses, Aman, and Oberoi have announced their plans to establish new properties in this breathtaking location.

Wadi Safar, also known as Wadi Al Disah, is a remarkable natural wonder located in the northwest region of Saudi Arabia. The Arabic word 'wadi' refers to a dry riverbed or valley that becomes a temporary watercourse during the rainy season. Wadi Safar is nestled within the larger Al Disah Valley, which stretches approximately 700 kilometres and is famous for its stunning landscapes and geological formations.

The area surrounding Wadi Safar has a rich historical and cultural heritage. It was inhabited by various ancient civilizations, including the Nabateans and the Dedanites, who left their mark through the remnants of rock art, inscriptions, and archaeological sites scattered across the region. These traces of the past offer valuable insights into the human history of the area and provide a glimpse into the lives of these ancient societies.

The addition of these resorts is expected to attract discerning travellers from around the globe.
