Looking for things to do this weekend? 

There’s nothing like a weekend full of adventure and well-deserved relaxation after a long week of work. Whether you are looking to tick off a bucket list adventure or recharge with a grounding yoga session, we have you covered.

Here are six cool things to do in Jeddah this weekend:

Thursday, December 22

Finish off the workweek at Brew 92

Brew 92 has quickly become the go-to hip coffee shop amongst young people in Jeddah (with branches also in Riyadh and Mecca), but despite its popularity, it is a great place to get long hours of work done. They have two branches in Jeddah and both are spacious with a welcoming staff. Brew 92 is also easily the best roastery in Jeddah and the place to be for unbeatable coffee.

Brew 92, Prince Saud Al Faizal Street, Al Khalidiyyah, Jeddah, Sat to Wed 6am to 12am, Thu 6am to 12.30am, Fri 8am to 12.30am. Tel: 012 606 1142, @brew92cafe 

Start the weekend in style at Al Shallal theme park

Al Shallal theme park, located on Jeddah Corniche, makes for a fun family evening. With a range of adrenaline-pumping rollercoasters to ice skating or boat rides, the theme park is the ideal place for all ages to enjoy themselves. Open from 5pm daily, there’s a bunch of themed restaurants including Lebanese and Chinese food. Plus don’t miss the ice skating rink open everyday from 5.30pm. Ticket prices can be bought online or at the door starting from SAR75.
