Our recommendations of what to do and where to go…
Wondering what’s on in Jeddah this week? From bingeing on rom-com to great food and entertainment, we’ve got you covered. You can also fire up the romance at Rosewood Jeddah staycation or sample the city’s fine dining with your other half.
Here are seven lovely things you can do in Jeddah this week.
Sunday February 13
1. Celebrate love with J. Lo and Owen Wilson
It’s been too long since Jennifer Lopez has starred in a rom-com, which is why we’re thankful for Marry Me. This love story follows pop star Kat Valdez (Lopez), who is publicly jilted by her partner (Maluma) right before they’re set to get married on a livestream. Refusing to be humiliated, she pulls a random stranger out of the audience (Owen Wilson) to marry instead. It may not entirely be love at first sight, but you can probably see where this is headed.
Romance/Comedy, Rating R18, 1h 52mins. Book your tickets here.
