The story
Somewhere is a Middle Eastern restaurant at Alula Oasis, AlUla, 43523, in Al-`Ula, and the Michelin Guide listed it as Recommended in 2026.
The setting is a flower garden with a water basin, palm trees and greenery, plus a patio with outdoor seating. Gault&Millau scored it 12 in 2026 and compares it to a beach restaurant in the best sense. It is relaxed enough that you settle in for the afternoon, sharing mezze over coffee.
The Lebanese-inspired kitchen keeps things simple. Kale tabbouleh, chicken shawarma, beef shish barak and wagyu kebab all appear on the menu. For something sweet, there is cardamom and saffron French toast.
