Some evenings are too nice to waste indoors. If you feel like getting out for food, coffee, and a change of scene, Ramlina Festival is an easy option this January. This open-air festival happening in Riyadh until January 31. It’s the kind of place where you go with friends or family and end up staying the whole evening.

Festival doors open at 4 PM, so you can arrive at any time. There’s no schedule or special route to follow: you just move between food spots, cafés, and activities and stay for as long as you feel like it. Walk around, grab something to eat, have a coffee, stop for a game, or catch a live performance if one’s on.

It’s a perfect winter outing for families, friends, and couples. Kids will have their own play areas and activities. And once it gets darker, you’ll likely end up by bonfires or drift to the open-air theatre to see what’s happening there.
