Description Description

Take a journey through time in the extraordinary cultural oasis and vast desert known as AlUla , nestled deep in the ancient sands of north-west Arabia. An open, living museum with over 7,000 years of human history – from Paleolithic hunter-gatherers, through civilisations such as the Nabataeans, Dadanites and Romans, Muslim pilgrims on the way to Mecca and Medina and trading caravans along the Incense Route, to present-day communities mixing and exchanging cultural ideas with travellers from around the world. Home to the Hegra (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the Maraya Hall (an award-winning multi-purpose concert and performance venue that is also the largest mirrored venue in the world according to the Guinness Book of Records), AlUla will continue to be a destination reflected, sculpted and inspired by artists, and a venue for monumental works that define eras.

Available in Assouline’s exclusive Ultimate and XXL formats, this oversized deluxe volume is a celebration of human milestones and natural wonders, sharing the majesty of AlUla.

About the author

Robert Polidori

Robert Polidori began his career in the mid-1980s photographing the Restoration of Versailles, and has since documented locations around the world. He was commissioned by The New Yorker to photograph New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and the images were exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Polidori prefers the beauty and stillness of working with a large-format camera and slow shutter speeds, and sees rooms as vessels for memory. He has twice won the Alfred Eisenstaedt Prize for Magazine Photography, published more than a dozen photography books, had major solo exhibitions at major galleries, and his work is included in the collections of many prominent museums around the world.

About the brand

Assouline, where culture meets luxury It all began in 1993, when Martine and Prosper Assouline found themselves at the La Colombe d'Or hotel in France, one of their most beloved places in the world. As they experienced its beauty together, their curiosity about life and love of books inspired them to make their own tome about the hotel. Prosper took the photos, Martine wrote the text, and La Colombe D'Or became their first book, published in 1994. Today, every Assouline book continues to be created with the same union of talent and passion: Martine's editorial direction and Prosper's creative vision.
