The winter festival promises plenty of activities this season.
Saudi Arabia is making sure there’s always something exciting to experience. And with Ramadan approaching, the beloved Layali Diriyah is back for its fourth edition. This winter event transforms Diriyah into a magical wonderland of lights, culture, food and entertainment.
As part of Diriyah Season, Layali Diriyah will run well into 2026, inviting you into a world where history meets modern luxury amidst Diriyah’s palm groves.
Food lovers are in for a treat, with cafes and restaurants offering a mix of local and international flavours. Whether you’re craving traditional Saudi dishes or global delicacies, there’s something to satisfy every palate. Italian favourite Zefferino brings its pesto-led plates from Genova via Paris and Monaco, while London’s BIBI serves clever, contemporary dishes inspired by the Indian subcontinent. Mediterranean hotspot Alaya adds high-energy flair, and Berlin-born 963 showcases a third-culture mash-up of Levantine flavours from Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine. Persian restaurant Shahnamah spotlights refined Iranian dishes, Areesh Al Nakeel celebrates authentic Hijazi and Saudi favourites, and Parker’s Farm rounds things off with comfort food served farm-to-table. For an extra special experience, book a seat at the Chef’s Table Experience.
Beyond food, Layali Diriyah will feature luxury retail stores showcasing high-end brands, unique handcrafted items, and winter-inspired boutiques. Interactive art installations, such as the Palm Frond Bridge, and live folk performances showcasing Saudi Arabia’s rich musical traditions will also be on the agenda.
To dive deep into Saudi Arabia’s history and culture, heritage activities such as traditional swings and storytelling will also be taking place to engage you in authentic Diriyah customs.
So if you’re looking to indulge in some delicious food while soaking in the live performances, or the rich cultural heritage of the Kingdom, Layali Diriyah is where you ought to be.
