Plan your weekend at the DQ Souq in Riyadh
Your weekends just got brighter
We know you’ve felt it. That shift in the weather, the chill in the air—winter isn’t coming; it’s already here. And with it comes the return of the much-awaited DQ Souq in Riyadh for all the fun, fashion, and of course food.
The hugely popular concept has been a success in Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter since 2019. In its sixth edition now, this open market is the place to be during the weekend.

At the market, you can look forward to shopping for fresh produce, healthy food, and even potted plants. The open market is usually decked out in a ton of twinkling fairy lights on exposed brick walls and pretty walkways to discover all the stalls the souq has to offer.
Gather the gang and enjoy a game corner suitable for kids of all ages, a painting corner, and more than 50 diverse booths, including food trucks, snacks, accessories, abayas, toys, and handmade products for you to browse and shop. The kiddos can also check out an outdoor cinema, drawing area, and mini animal corner (petting zoo).
You can also look forward to food trucks, live performances, and a challenge corner. The market aims to introduce small, locally owned businesses to the public; these also include online-only stores, specialty cafes, and a few restaurants.
Entry to the market is free, and no pre-reservation is required; you can just show up and have the best time.
Located behind the AlArabiya building and Oud Square, you don’t need a ticket to enter the DQ Souq. The market will take place from 4pm to 11pm.
Get ready to shop till you drop.
