Al Ula is hosting a candlelight concert to ring in the New Year. The musical performance will take place at the Unesco World Heritage site of Hegra on Friday and will be illuminated by hundreds of “high-tech” candles that cast an evocative light over the archeological site. This is the first time that the site, which is located 20 minutes from the city of AlUla, will host an intimate musical performance of this kind. The event is being produced by live entertainment group Balich Wonder Studio, which specialises in large-scale ceremonies, events and shows around the world. It has worked on Olympics opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the Dubai World Cup show, UAE National Day celebrations and the Riyadh Season opening parade, among other high-profile events.
