Enter, if you dare…

If you’re anything like us, you love yourself some bone-chilling fun this time of year. Luckily for us, there’s never a shortage of fun things to do in Jeddah, and the first-ever Horror Con Jeddah 2025 is bringing a slice of some much-welcome spooky fun.

Happening until Wednesday November 5, the brand-new festival will be divided into eight haunted houses (each scarier than the last, we hope), with all the classic horror scenes as backdrops.

It doesn’t stop there, though; the biggest horror event in the Middle East will also have four main zones and 20 themed cafes and restaurants (yes, you did, in fact, read that right).

The Jeddah Season event will also be home to nine fun and interactive games and mazes for all ages (six and up, of course), six top-tier retail outlets, and fun daily surprises too.

The experiences

Take your pick from fun, spooky experiences, including the Horror Hospital II where all your hospital scaries will come to life (no bills to worry about though), and a The Clown experience (I’d avoid this personally, just cause I’m actually terrified with a capital T), and The Dead Zone.

But of course, that’s not all; then there’s also the Field Maze experience (no way out of this one, unless…?), the Escape (a prison break challenge with a twist it seems), Qaid Station (one last stop, and then…), and The Farm 2.
