While everyone else is posting Amalfi Coast sunsets and Santorini rooftops, Idia Aisien looked at “European Summer” and said, cute… but have you tried Arabian Summer?

She traded cobblestone streets for golden sands, heading straight to AlUla, Saudi Arabia — a desert dream dripping with ancient history, cinematic rock formations, and that quiet-luxury energy that whispers old money, but make it Middle Eastern.

Habitas AlUla has been a magnet for the stylish set this year (Tubobereni and Priscilla Ojo have already done their pilgrimage), but Idia’s arrival? That’s when the temperature officially went up a few degrees.

She floated through the sandstone magic in a yarn-styled Apet NG dress, complete with raffia earrings that said vacation, but editorial. Each photo looked like a still from a travel campaign — the kind that makes you pause scrolling and mutter, “Yeah… I need to be there.”

If this is what Arabian Summer looks like, maybe we’ve been holidaying in the wrong hemisphere all along.
