Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting and is one of the most anticipated Islamic holidays. The day starts with a special prayer service at the mosque, to which followers wear new clothes. This is a time to visit friends and relatives, often celebrating together with larges meals and elders giving money to children. 

The Riyadh Season Festival is a mega entertainment event that begins in October and lasts for three months. The festival hosts more than 100 different events that take place across over 10 main areas in the city. It brings unique entertainment to Saudi Arabia such as the K-pop band BTS, international and Arabic artists, and Michelin star restaurants. 

The Spring Festival transforms Riyadh’s desert landscape into a refreshing verdant delight with mass displays of colorful flower beds fashioned into varied shapes. Food stalls, flower bouquets and garland headbands all add to the festivities, attracting more than 150,000 visitors to the city to celebrate the spring season and its natural bounty.
