Organized collaboratively by Desert X and the Royal Commission of AlUla (RCU), Desert X AlUla is a site-responsive exhibition running 31 January – 7 March, 2020. Taking place in the desert of AlUla, an ancient oasis in Saudi Arabia, it brings together a plurality of voices, co-curated by Saudi Curators Raneem Farsi and Aya Alireza with Desert X Artistic Director Neville Wakefield.

Desert X AlUla is the first site-responsive exhibition of its kind in Saudi Arabia. An exploration of desert culture, the exhibition is a cross-cultural dialogue between artists from Saudi Arabia and its surrounding region and artists from previous iterations of Desert X in California, taking its cues from the extraordinary landscape and historical significance of AlUla.
