AlUla on Wheels II “AlJadidah Time Machine” will transport patrons throughout three epochs through skate and music. From the 70’s, the golden era of skate, to the 90’s, the nostalgic era that most people resonate with, to the future – envisioning what 2030 and beyond in Saudi might look like and feel like through dance. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, this journey promises to be a harmonious blend of nostalgia, cultural resonance, and forward-thinking vision with an unparalleled experience for roller-skating enthusiasts. AlUla on Wheels II will blend cultural richness with avant-garde entertainment, and the location underscores the commitment to curating an ambiance which merges heritage with contemporary allure.
