Weekends in Riyadh come with plenty of options, but if you’re in the mood to walk around with a coffee and browse local crafts, there’s a spot worth adding to your plans. Head to the heart of King Abdullah Financial District in the afternoon. That’s where you’ll find KAFD Saturday Market in Area 4 at Al Wadi.
From the moment you arrive, the vibe is different. A green park space surrounded by KAFD’s towers is filled with international coffee, food stalls, fashion pieces, and locally made handicrafts. Give yourself time here. Booths and kiosks are easy to get lost in, and it rarely ends up being a quick stop.
After a walk and a bit of shopping, you can sit down at nearby spots like Brunch & Cake, Apple Butter, El Camino, Ralph’s Coffee, or Rowley’s Steakhouse.
KAFD Saturday Market is open from 4 PM to 10 PM, so you can drop by in the late afternoon or stay into the evening. Entry is free and such an outing fits easily into whatever else you’ve got planned for the weekend.
