In pictures: World’s first desert polo at Saudi Arabia’s Al Ula heritage site

Al Ula Desert Polo, the first tournament in Saudi Arabia to be held in cooperation with the Saudi Polo Federation, is to make its debut on January 16-18, 2020 as part of the Winter at Tantora cultural festival.

Cradled against the backdrop of one of Arabia’s best kept secrets – the exquisite UNESCO heritage site in Al Ula that will officially open to the public in October 2020.

A new concept in world polo and inspired by the prestigious snow polo tournament held in St Moritz, Switzerland, Desert Polo will feature some of the most renowned players and patrons in the world of polo.

Organised by the Royal Commission for Al Ula in partnership with the Saudi Polo Federation, Desert Polo is one of the highlights of the three-month long Winter at Tantora festival, running from December to March and held in the historic and untouched region.
