3. Culinary offerings aside, you’re also able to enjoy fine arts

From palate to palette, festival-goers are also able to explore the National Museum at night, bringing you on a journey through Saudi Arabia.

History enthusiasts will revel in the exhibits at the museum’s eight halls, where you’ll find everything from Neolithic rock art to replicas of the buildings of old Jeddah, as well as transporting visitors on a magically interactive tour of the ages.
