The Maraya Concert Hall is one of the world's most remarkable buildings. It is located in the Ashar Valley of the AlUla region in Saudi Arabia and, according to Guinness World Records, is the largest mirrored building in the world. Its façade is covered with approximately 9,740 square meters of mirrored glass, reflecting the surrounding sandstone mountains and desert landscape.
The word "Maraya" means "mirrors" or "reflections" in Arabic. The building was designed to blend almost seamlessly into its surroundings; from certain angles, it can be difficult to spot because its mirrored surfaces reflect the landscape around it. Ashar Valley, AlUla, Saudi Arabia
