The first accredited Dark Sky Park in the Kingdom and in the GCC, AlUla has been recently recognised as a stargazing abode for enthusiasts, owing to its unobstructed and unpolluted night sky views. Dark Sky International has recognised two specific locations in AlUla as being Dark Sky Parks: AlUla Manara and AlGharameel Nature Reserve. This most recent accreditation of Dark Sky Park lends itself to the ambitions of the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) to develop the region further with regards to stargazing, astro-tourism, and solidify the location as a hub for astro and space sciences.
