Ramlina Festival transforms Wadi Hanifa into a family-friendly seasonal playground.
Riyadh’s winter calendar has a fresh reason to head outdoors. Ramlina Festival has opened in Wadi Hanifa and will run until 31 January 2026, bringing a welcome boost of energy to the cooler months. Set against the valley’s natural backdrop, the festival blends leisure, culture and entertainment into an easy evening out for families, friends and anyone keen to make the most of the season.
As temperatures drop and the city’s pace softens, Ramlina Festival leans into what winter in Riyadh does best: open-air atmosphere, relaxed strolls, and social spaces built for lingering. The programme spans a broad mix of cultural, entertainment and arts-led experiences, giving visitors plenty to explore in one visit or many. Expect a lively, festival-style setting where you can join in with games and challenges, take in artistic performances, and move between activity zones at your own pace.
Food plays a central role, too. The festival brings together a diverse selection of restaurants and cafés, offering options for different tastes and ages. Whether you are after a quick bite, a sweet treat or a proper sit-down moment, the focus is on keeping the night flowing. Strong coffee is naturally part of the equation, ideal for stretching the evening a little longer once the air turns crisp.
Location is part of the appeal. Wadi Hanifa sits at the heart of Riyadh’s natural scenery, and the festival uses that setting to full effect, offering spaces to dine outdoors while soaking up the valley’s ambience. From open-air seating to cosy corners by a warming fireplace, the mood is built for winter evenings and unhurried catch-ups.
Tickets are available now and priced at SAR 50 per person.
