Weekends in Riyadh no longer feel ordinary. The city is now alive with events that mix art, entertainment, shopping, and music. Whether it’s a cultural escape or a high-energy activity with friends, the capital offers plenty of options to turn any weekend into something truly memorable.
At Level Up, creativity takes center stage. Artist’s Night brings together amateurs and professionals in one vibrant space, where painting, caricature, and live sketches come to life. Guests not only watch but feel part of the energy, as every canvas tells a different story. It’s a supportive atmosphere where hidden talents shine, and the night itself becomes a lasting memory for everyone involved.
For those wanting to escape the city buzz, Amala Summer Camp offers a full day of activities under the sun. From swimming and group games to live music and dance sessions, the camp creates a space for both excitement and leisure. The evening closes with a shared dinner, leaving participants with the sense of a complete, refreshing getaway. It’s the kind of experience that makes a weekend feel longer and more fulfilling.
The Macramé Workshop in Diriyah is more than a creative class it’s a mindful experience. Participants learn how to craft unique decorative pieces inspired by local heritage, while adding their own personal touch. The process feels calming, almost like a reset from the fast pace of daily life. By the end, everyone leaves with a handmade piece that reflects their creativity and serves as a tangible weekend souvenir.
Titled “Lens of Generations and Social Change,” the exhibition brings together over 40 artists exploring identity and transformation through art. Visitors walk through a visual journey that connects personal stories with broader cultural shifts, sparking reflection on the ties between past and future. With free entry, the event opens the doors for anyone to step into Riyadh’s evolving art scene.
Sensas redefines group fun with challenges that engage all five senses. The activities go beyond simple games they test teamwork, encourage laughter, and create real connections between friends. What makes it even more meaningful is that every challenge contributes to supporting people with disabilities. This mix of fun and purpose gives Sensas a unique edge, making it one of Riyadh’s most memorable weekend destinations.
