Ducasse in Alula is Back, Bringing Haute Cuisine to the Saudi Oasis Once More
February 19, 2025 – Ducasse in AlUla, Saudi Arabia
After a highly acclaimed debut in 2024, Ducasse in AlUla returns for another season, further enriching the region’s evolving gastronomic landscape. Conceived by Alain Ducasse, the world-renowned multi-Michelin-starred chef, this ephemeral dining experience bridges French culinary savoir-faire and the rich traditions of AlUla, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Saudi oasis.
A Celebration of Local Flavors
Under the creative direction of Executive Chef Téophile Bourgeois, the menu reflects Ducasse’s signature philosophy—elevating local ingredients through refined French technique. The menu features desert spices, citrus from AlUla’s orchards, and the region’s prized dates, transformed into sophisticated, seasonal dishes.
You can expect a multi-sensory experience, with each course telling a story of tradition capturing the spirit of the desert while honoring French haute cuisine. In the dining room, Michel Lang, a seasoned expert in Ducasse’s hospitality philosophy, orchestrates the experience, ensuring that service meets the same world-class standard as Ducasse’s legendary restaurants.
A Culinary Destination Rooted in Heritage
Ducasse in AlUla is a design statement, carefully integrated into its natural surroundings. Nestled within the oasis, the space is crafted by French designers Aliénor Béchu and Donald Bovy of Volume ABC, reflecting the interplay between the elements—sky, rock, greenery, and fire.
The open-air setting, framed by AlUla’s towering palm trees, allows guests to dine inside or under the desert sky. The restaurant’s eco-conscious architecture aligns with AlUla’s commitment to sustainability in preserving the region’s unique charm.
Set near the historical site of Jabal Ikmah, Ducasse in AlUla is an unparalleled dining experience, combining exceptional cuisine, architectural harmony, and deep cultural respect, it embodies the future of fine dining in the region—where history and modernity coexist in perfect balance.
