A new edition of the prestigious Richard Mille AlUla Desert Polo, is due to take place through January 16-17. The event is the world’s first modern polo tournament set in a one-of-a-kind desert environment, and will be played in Saudi Arabia in a purpose-built desert arena, set amongst the extraordinary landscapes of the Equestrian Village, in close proximity to Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hegra.
One of the most popular sports and society events, the Richard Mille AlUla Desert Polo brings together a sophisticated global audience who keep one eye on the sport and the other on the fashion and festive atmosphere in the crowd. This exclusive tournament brings together the world’s elite players, offering a rare chance to witness thrilling horsemanship among the canyons and vast golden sands of northwest Arabia.
Enjoy the refined, fashionable ambience amid AlUla’s iconic scenery, while socialising and networking. There’s plenty to do for the whole family too, with interactive equestrian experiences for the little ones, and a DJ setting the tone for an enjoyable afternoon in the winter sun.
