Saudi Arabia's AlUla boasts world's largest mirrored building
The Maraya Concert
Hall, located in the Ashar
Valley of the AlUla Governorate, continues to hold the distinction of being
the largest mirrored building in the world.
Covered with 9,740 square meters of reflective glass panels,
the structure earned its Guinness
World Records certification on December 26, 2019. Its striking cubic design
and mirror-clad exterior walls capture and reflect the surrounding desert
landscapes, celebrating both the natural beauty and cultural heritage of AlUla.
Maraya stands as a signature landmark within the ambitious “Journey Through
Time Masterplan.”
Inside, the venue features a state-of-the-art theater
equipped with advanced audio and technical systems, offering seating for more
than 500 guests.
