Villa Hegra

A Unique Cultural Journey from AlUla to the World

Villa Hegra is the first joint Saudi–French cultural foundation, established through a partnership between RCU and the French Agency for the Development of AlUla (AFALULA). It represents the enduring historical relationship between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the French Republic, and the embodiment of AlUla’s ambitious vision, aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, to position AlUla as a global destination for culture and the arts. Villa Hegra stands as a world-class cultural platform in the heart of AlUla, celebrating heritage while opening new horizons for creativity and international knowledge exchange.
