According to Aman official website, these three buildings include a tent camp integrated with nature, a Li Hong Resort near the spectacular ruins of El Ola, and a desert ranch style like a fairyland, which respectively lead the world to explore this undiscovered secluded place and enjoy the magnificent natural landscape and amazing archaeological sites.
In March 2020, Anman released its new brand Janu for the first time in 32 years, which attracted worldwide attention. Unexpectedly, El Ola also appeared in the site selection list of the first three semicolons, and it is expected to open in 2023.
It is extremely rare to open three Anmaojia 1 Janu in the same city within one year. As we all know, Amman has always been very strict about the location of hotels. Except for a few cities, Oman occupies the center of the city, and most resorts in Oman are far away from the noise and are friendly to nature. Every Anman contains the respect and affection of the design team for the local environment, culture and history.
Oman Jiwo is just a stone's throw from Borobudur, a world cultural heritage.
Coincidentally, Jean Nouvel, a French architect and Pritzker Prize winner, also announced a hotel design scheme in El Ola earlier.
Rendering of Shalan Resort
The project is located in the deep part of Shalan Nature Reserve, where there are spectacular cliffs and deep valleys, undulating sand dunes and rocks of various shapes. Jean nouvel draws inspiration from the local world cultural heritage Heigla and wants to carve a hotel in the rock!
From the renderings, we can see that jean nouvel carved unique geometric patterns in the room and skillfully introduced light. When natural light passes through the gap, light and shadow are reflected on the surrounding rock wall. Mottled light and shadow, wandering among them, is amazing.
Jean nouvel has always been good at building landmark buildings and creating miracles of light and shadow. It is foreseeable how amazing Shalan Resort will be when it is finally completed.
One step ahead of Aman and jean nouvel is Habitas, a hotel group that focuses on "wild luxury", with semicolons in Mexico, Namibia and other places, and its geographical location is extremely wild. Last June, 5438+065438+ 10, Habitat Elola Hotel took the lead in opening.
The hotel is located in Achard Canyon, surrounded by spectacular sandstone cliffs and palm trees. A river-like path leads to 96 rooms, reception desk, yoga platform, fitness center, restaurant and swimming pool.
The design of "Giant Artificial Swimming Pool+Magnificent Rock" reminds people of the hard-to-trace Amanci Ridge. On the one hand, it is the driest natural rock, on the other hand, it is the artificial waterscape as blue as a gem. Different aesthetic images blend here, which is amazing.
The interior of the hotel is decorated according to the traditional Middle Eastern style, and every detail is made of ethical materials, which are seamlessly integrated into the natural environment, with red, white and brown as the main warm colors, and integrated into the natural environment with sustainable minimum interference.
Because the hotel is located in a nature reserve, the damage to the environment in the process of building the hotel is minimal, because no building is completed on site, and no natural resources are removed or destroyed in the process. At the same time, most of the hotel's electricity comes from solar energy.
In fact, the luxury hotels planned to be built in El Ola are far more than that. Banyan Tree and many other luxury hotel groups have settled here. El Ola, a slightly unfamiliar area in China, has become the top destination resource of top luxury hotels.
Looking at the whole of Saudi Arabia, the number of luxury hotels can already be compared with that of the United Arab Emirates next door. Luxury hotels such as resplendent, Ritz-Carlton, Raffles and Four Seasons occupy the best position in each city.
Zitanjida
It is hard to imagine that this prosperous Middle Eastern country only opened its doors to global tourists three years ago. Prior to this, tourists to Saudi Arabia were limited to businessmen and foreigners working in Saudi Arabia, as well as Muslims who went to worship, and only during the Hajj season could Muslims obtain special visas to travel to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.
Thanks to Vision 2030, this sacred "land of two holy temples" has finally been unveiled, and the outstanding natural scenery and rich cultural heritage of El Ola are no longer out of reach.
Elephant Rock (also known as JabalAlfil) is one of the most famous geological wonders in El Ola. Located in the golden desert, it was cut by natural forces after millions of years of wind erosion and water erosion. The three-story "colossus" is lifelike, showing the ingenuity of nature.
Saudi Arabia has always been at the crossroads of ancient civilization, so it has many UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and Hegra (AlUla) in El Ola is one of the pearls, which is also the first site in Saudi Arabia to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The ancient city of Hegla covers an area of 52 hectares and is surrounded by city walls. Its history can be traced back to the 2nd century BC, and it was once the main southern city of Nabatai Kingdom.
Nabatai people once left the remains of civilization in Petra, Jordan. Compared with Hegel, it is not difficult to find the similarities.
There are many well-preserved tombs in Hegla 1 10, and the outer walls are carved from sandstone exposed outside the city. Thousands of years ago, the historical relics of human civilization are still vivid. The whimsy of the ancients met with the ingenious craftsmanship of Gunabatai craftsmen, and the exquisite ancient tombs complemented the majestic desert hills.
There are not only artificial tombs here, but also a natural sacred mountain-Lishi Mountain. With the change of sunlight angle, the light beam penetrates Lishi Mountain and casts a holy color on the whole area.
The long history of El Ola does not stop there. If time goes further, it can be traced back to the 9th and 8th centuries BC. This prosperous oasis across the valley was once the capital of the kingdom of Dedan and Lihayani. The ancient city of Dadan reached its peak because of its prosperous spice trade, which represented the civilization and economic level of Arabian Peninsula at that time.
After thousands of years of baptism, there are not many well-preserved buildings in Dedan, but the remains of ancient temples and tombs make this area a living archaeological site, and through the continuous excavation of historians, it gradually reveals the long-forgotten history to the world.
The Ruins of Dedan include many historical sites, including inscriptions and statues carved in Dedan, and ancient tombs made of red rocks.
Among them is the lion's tomb, which stands between cliffs in the desert. The two lions sitting and squatting show the noble status of the tomb owner's royal family, making it an excellent place to explore the past civilization of Dedan and Lihayani.
JabalIkmah, which is only ten minutes' drive from Dedan, is called the largest "open library" in Saudi Arabia. It has the largest and most diverse pre-Arabic inscriptions in Saudi Arabia, and records the changes of El Ola civilization.
Thousands of rocks are engraved with countless words and rock paintings, telling the stories of people who once lived here, or the beliefs of travelers who indulge in mountains and rivers.
Time has passed through this land for thousands of years, but the ancient city of alura seems to be a static "eternal city".
The ancient city of El Ola, built in the12nd century, is located at the narrowest part of the El Ola Valley. It has witnessed the road of trade and our life, and is called the "crossroads" of civilization.
After three years of closure and comprehensive transformation, the ancient city reopened in early March of 20021. There are more than 900 mud brick buildings scattered throughout the city. Walking among them, it seems that you can touch the long history.
You can visit the mystery of the sundial along the restored ancient city trail to Tantola Square, visit two restored mosques, climb the castle and overlook the whole ancient city. You can also listen to local old stories carefully under the guidance of experienced tour guides.
