In a unique collaboration, Dar Al Arkan, the leading real estate company in Saudi Arabia, introduces exclusive co-branded villas with global designer Elie Saab to be part of the Kingdom’s Shams Ar Riyadh project.
Reflecting the sophisticated elegance and exceptional detailing that Elie Saab is recognized for in the haute couture world, the villas have the Elie Saab signature style with exquisite designs, setting a new standard for modern luxury living in the Kingdom.
The world-renowned designer will provide the creative guidance and curate the refined design elements that encapsulate the project. In addition to the exterior concept, the beauty of his designs will be captured and reflected in the interiors to create a seamless charm and elegant continuity across all aspects of each villa. Elie Saab will also give his artistic vision and input to the overall project to reinforce its unique, high-end living standards.

There are only a limited number of co-branded Dar Al Arkan and Elie Saab villas, which will be privately located and exclusively accessed by residents. Surrounded by Wadi Hanifa’s lush greenery and cool waterways, residents can directly step out onto the wadi from their villa to experience the splendour of nature that delights the senses and brings calm and serenity.
