In the heart of one of the largest and rarest lava landscapes in the Kingdom, Khaybar Volcano Camp guests will walk where the first human settlements in Arabia left their footprints. During the trip, guests will explore one of the world's largest and most important archaeological projects, filled with prehistoric monuments, rare geological monuments, lush oases and lava caves dating back millions of years. With the opening of Khaybar Volcano Camp, the region will be accessible to travelers who want a full immersion in this majestic area of the world.
Located in Harrat Khaybar, the first one-of-a-kind eco-lodge, Khaybar Volcano Camp, will offer guests the opportunity to experience extraordinary by day and mystical by night in a cinematic landscape. Staying in beautiful accommodations and enjoying carefully prepared dishes, guests can enjoy cultural activities, mythical storytelling, evening stargazing, wellness trails and unique excursions such as hot air balloon flights, treks to discover geological wonders and visits to ancient ruins.

Khaybar Volcano Camp also offers guests high-end details such as extremely comfortable beds and luxurious amenities. Built in a unique landscape, it boasts a color scheme that matches the black basalt and white of the surrounding volcanic craters. Each room is equipped with private wooden patios from which guests can admire the surrounding views, epic sunrises and illuminated skies in the night.
The camp will offer traditional cuisine of Saudi Arabia, along with innovative and delicious menus created by the legendary Shale Hill catering and events group, a world-renowned group that operates some of the most distinguished and intriguing restaurants in New York City. In addition, the camp's fleet of private cars will be on hand to transport guests to and from the airport and hotel, as well as to various local excursions.
