The unique heritage of the AlUla Peregrina^TM oil

Peregrina is an essential element of nature and heritage in the AlUla region. From the Harrat canyons to the wadis and sandy desert, AlUla is home to fascinating archeological sites covering more than 200,000 years of human history, unique ecological systems, and wild landscapes.

We found proof of the ancestral use of Peregrina oil in ancient texts and archaeology, back to ancient Egypt, through the Hellenistic & Roman periods, and in the Middle Ages in Abassid times (9th-13th c.). The oil was renowned for preserving and enhancing fragrances. Peregrina oil, then called bān oil, was a crucial ingredient in the most expensive, complex, sought-after perfumes like the so-called King of Parthia and the Ghaliya.
