Maraya

The most exquisite work of art known as Maraya is located in the Ashar Valley's desert canyon. It emerges from the sand like a mirage, designed to blend with the surroundings. The cutting-edge skyscraper is coated in 9,740 mirror panels that reflect AlUla's splendor. It has been regarded as the biggest mirror building in the world, according to Guinness World Records.

Maraya, which in Arabic means 'mirror' or 'reflection,' honors AlUla's unique historical position as a long-standing crossroads of civilizations. The mirrors themselves transform into a modern canvas, reflecting the amazing history of the locale. Maraya is the centerpiece of AlUla's expanding cultural scene on a global scale since it is the ideal modern tribute to the past.

It has four dining areas - VIP dining room, indoor roof terrace, outdoor roof terrace, and panoramic viewing terrace. Perched atop Maraya stands the much-anticipated restaurant, Maraya Social. Chef Jason Atherton's latest passion project reflects the flavors of the AlUla Oasis in a stunning new dining concept.

The structure was intended to serve as both a standalone work of art and a fully functional multipurpose venue. Maraya has presented pop-up events, VIP experiences, and highly anticipated performances by international superstars. It accepts all kinds of events, from weddings to global conferences, as well as commercial gatherings and congresses.
