Diriyah, the birthplace of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is bringing both the UNESCO World Heritage Site of At-Turaif and the premium dining destination of Bujairi Terrace to life in a celebration of Ramadan.

The touristic town will deliver a diverse range of cultural, sporting, heritage, community, and charitable events for the public to enjoy and to share with friends and family.

The Bujairi Terrace offers an array of dining options, including Ramadan set menus or a la carte offerings from traditional Saudi signature dishes to international cuisines. After Iftar, Bujairi Terrace guests can enjoy various activities ranging from themed storytelling and poetry readings to, later in the month, Eid activities.

•    Bujairi Terrace Program: Guests can pause for a delicious bite and take in the breathtaking surroundings of the World Heritage Site at Café Bateel and Wacafe, At-Turaif’s two newly opened food outlets, shop for locally grown produce and craft items in Souq Al-Mawsim, the first Diriyah Seasonal Market to source seasonal and unique finds, as well as drop into a variety of activities.
•    Hidden Heritage Trail of At-Turaif: This walking trail has been specially created for Ramadan 2023 to take visitors on a discovery tour of the lesser-known places within the World Heritage Site.
•    At-Turaif Iftar Coffee and Date Offering: All visitors are welcome to gather as a community and break their fast with coffee, water, and dates against the spectacular backdrop of historic At-Turaif.
•    Recreate Your Family Tree: Visitors can listen to the stories of kinship and family connections underpinning the historic district while creating their family tree.
•    Tarawih Prayer Time: At-Turaif Mosque will be open for a thoroughly memorable and atmospheric Tarawih prayer and, in the latter part of Ramadan, for Tahajjud prayer.
•    At-Turaif Retrospective (Descendants): Now its second instalment, this immersive experience comprises a collection of documentary-style short films set within the rooms of a palace, which bring together the stories and memories of At-Turaif, allowing viewers to explore and embrace the impact of its values across Saudi Arabia.
•    Discover the Ramadan Sky: An educational and spiritual program where visitors can learn about the planetary movements concerning Islamic rituals and the sky’s association with the times of Iftar and Imsak during Ramadan.
•    Diriyah Coffee Workshop: From roasting to tasting, guests can learn the steps of making Al-Arid coffee, together with the hospitality and rituals of the people of Al-Arid, while recreating the traditional Ramadan breakfast of coffee and dates.

Bujairi Terrace and At-Turaif’s Ramadan activities will run daily from 4pm to 3am, with the last entry allowed at 2am. A Diriyah Pass is required, at the cost of SR100 ($26.6)  which is redeemable against any Bujairi Terrace restaurant. – TradeArabia News Service
