The Chedi Hegra welcomes Nasim, a new Levantine restaurant set within Hegra's historic fort, pairing regional flavours with contemporary cooking in AlUla.
At Nasim, the fort's architecture and AlUla's sandstone landscape give The Chedi Hegra's new dining destination a distinctive sense of place.
The Menu
Executive Chef Rashid Ahmad-zada leads a contemporary Levantine menu, with highlights including Lobster Kibbeh, an inventive take on the regional classic, and Spiced Toothfish Sayadieh, a reinterpretation of the traditional fish-and-rice dish.
The four-course Taste of Nasim sharing menu offers a guided introduction to the restaurant's cooking.
A Setting Unlike Any Other
Few restaurants can claim a backdrop quite like Hegra. The historic surroundings give Nasim a distinctive character, connecting the dining experience to AlUla's remarkable landscape and cultural legacy.
Open daily from 3pm until midnight, the restaurant is particularly inviting around sunset, when the surrounding sandstone scenery takes on a golden glow.
For those planning a visit in October 2026, a special sharing-menu experience is available from SAR 555+ per person.
Nasim is particularly well suited to couples seeking an atmospheric evening, food enthusiasts exploring Levantine cuisine and travellers drawn to AlUla's cultural setting.
AlUla's Evolving Hospitality Landscape
The opening comes as AlUla continues to establish itself as a destination for culturally driven luxury tourism. International hospitality brands, distinctive dining concepts and carefully considered guest experiences are contributing to its growing appeal.
Nasim represents a wider movement towards hospitality concepts that feel inseparable from their locations. Its combination of Levantine cuisine, historic architecture and contemporary presentation speaks to travellers seeking experiences with depth and character.
For AlUla, it is another step in developing a hospitality offering that honours the past while confidently embracing the future.
For travellers who value atmosphere and a sense of place, it is an opening worth noting.
