Khaybar Volcano Camp, a new luxury eco-lodge concept, will officially open to visitors on December
15, 2022 in the recently opened up region of Khaybar, Saudi Arabia. Built on the landscape of extinct
volcanoes, the Khaybar Volcano Camp will operate for an initial limited duration closing in April 2023.
It is situated in one of the most spectacular and untouched places on earth. Now being excavated by
the world’s leading archaeologists, the discoveries of the Khaybar Harrat region are helping to form
new theories about ancient Arabia and civilisations of the past in the heart of one of the largest and rarest lava fields in the Kingdom, Khaybar Volcano Camp’s guests will tread where Arabia’s earliest human settlements left their mark. During a curated
journey, guests will explore one of the most expansive and important archaeological projects in the
world, full of prehistoric monuments, rare geological landmarks, lush oases, and lava caves that have existed for millions of years.
With the opening of the Khaybar Volcano Camp, the region will
be accessible to travellers who desire a full immersion in this awe-inspiring part of the world.
Located in Harrat Khaybar, the first-of-its-kind eco-lodge will offer guests a chance to experience the
extraordinary by day, and the otherworldly by night in a cinematic landscape. Staying in stunning
accommodations and enjoying meticulously prepared culinary fare, guests will be inspired by cultural
activities, mythical storytelling, evening stargazing, wellness programming and superlative excursions
like balloon flights, trekking to geological wonders and touring the ancient ruins. The unique Khaybar
Volcano Camp gifts travellers with an unparalleled adventure like no other.
The ten luxury tented suites feature exquisitely designed interiors, including modern furnishings and
bespoke comforts. Khaybar Volcano Camp also offers guests upscale details such as supremely
comfortable beds and luxe amenities. Built harmoniously into the dramatic landscape, the colour
scheme compliments the surrounding stark black basalt and white volcanic craters. Each room
features private wooden decks where guests can view the surrounding vistas, epic sunrises, and
illuminated evening skies.
The camp will offer traditional Saudi Arabian cuisine, along with daring and delectable menus
created by legendary restaurant and event group Shale Hill, a highly-respected restaurant and event
group helming some of New York’s most distinguished and intriguing food venues. Additionally, the
camp’s private fleet of cars will be available to transport guests to and from their airport and hotel,
as well as on their various local excursions.
Rates will start at 1,200 SAR a night for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure where silence, stars and
wonder reign supreme.
The opening of the Khaybar Volcano Camp is part of a sneak peek into the oasis regions of Tayma
and Khaybar, which together with AlUla form part of a fascinating trilogy of ancient linked cities on
the route of the famous Incense Road. The experience in Khaybar includes the opportunity to see
intriguing prehistoric burial structures that dot the landscape from a tethered hot air balloons and/or
helicopter. Also a visit to the AlRawan vantage point overlooking the old town and oasis, adventure
trails through the Umm Jirsan lava tubes and caves, and the stories from The Skies, an aerial
spectacular that brings together drones, narrative and landscape as night falls.
