RIYADH: The Royal Commission for AlUla has unveiled designs for the new AZULIK AlUla Resort, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.

The destination aims to attract tourists from around the world while at the same time boosting the Saudi hospitality sector and, in the process, helping to diversify the governorate’s economy.

The resort designs have been inspired by AlUla’s natural surroundings, including sand dunes and surrounding mountains. It will also include many aspects of sustainability.

Along with 76 private villas, it will also house a fitness club, international restaurants and cafes, luxury guesthouses, and an art museum.
