Watch Desert Polo in the glorious AlUla
The polo event will see four teams compete in a specially built desert arena that lies close to the ancient site of Hegra, Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Those taking part will be a mix of invited patrons and professional players drawn from the global polo community.
Players from the legendary La Dolfina Polo team will lead one team each. La Dolfina, whom many consider being “the perfect team”, has a 40-goal handicap together and is the only team ever that won three consecutive Triple Crowns, the Tortugas Open, Hurlingham Open, and Argentine Open in 2013, 2014, and 2015 respectively.
The experience of horseback riding amongst the desert splendor and rock formations, in the footsteps of past civilizations, will create unforgettable memories.
Organized by the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU), in partnership with the Saudi Polo Federation, (SPF) the only major polo tournament staged in the desert on February 11-12, 2022 is the finale of the 2022 Winter at Tantora festival.
