6 incredible things to do in Jeddah this weekend: March 2 to 4

Kick off the month in style… 

There’s nothing like a weekend full of adventure and well-deserved relaxation after a long week of work. From cultural festivals to music nights, we have you covered.

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

Thursday, March 2

Get creative at Lego’s everchanging playbox

Don’t miss the chance to play with Lego at the Everchanging Playbox pop-up inside Jeddah Park mall. From building a giant lego KSA flag to a guided lego station, families can learn all about the timeline of Lego and check out a mini lego version of Salwa Palace.

LEGO, Jeddah Park Mall, Jeddah 23623. February 22 to March 2. 

Get rainbow messy at The Colorfly

If you are feeling creative or perhaps celebrating a family occasion this weekend, The Colorfly offers freestyle painting sessions for couples and families. Don’t expect paintbrushes, the studio encourages its budding artists to use everything but tools: painting with hands/body parts and using powder paints, so dress smartly and get ready to get messy.

Indulge in delicious Thai food on the beach

Thai Gallery Jeddah

Located on Oía Beach in Jeddah, this Thai restaurant is a perfect spot for a picturesque and indulgent dinner. The restaurant originally started in Marbella and became popular for its stylish interiors, buzzing atmosphere, and exquisite Thai food. What to try? You can’t go wrong with their classic pad thai and prawn satay paired with a passion fruit mojito. For something sweet try the fried banana with honey.
