JEDDAH: For fans of tropical fruits and low-fat products, there is an ice cream parlor in Jeddah just for you.
Ice Colors is considered to be one of the healthiest ice cream makers in the Kingdom. A Saudi-owned and run local brand, it was launched in 2018 and has two branches in the city, on Quraish Road and on the Jeddah Waterfront.
The concept is to offer full flavor and color using only natural products. There are 22 available, including pineapple, mango, coconut and melon.
The multiple stages of creating the ice cream, from preparing and juicing fruit to the finished article, are performed in front of customers in the parlor.
Their bestselling signature orders are Pineapple Ghazlino and Mango Minalo, served with whole chunks of fruit and in hollowed out pineapple and mango husks.
The most attractive thing about the natural process and ingredients is that the products Ice Colors sells are healthy, and low in calories. The parlor also sells iced drinks, called “Freezies,” with over 15 flavors to choose from. The prices vary from SR5 to SR25 per order ($1.30 to $6.60).

Saudi Arabia to host ‘dialogue’ between southern Yemeni factions
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry has invited factions in south Yemen to hold a dialogue in Riyadh to “discuss just solutions to the southern cause.”
The ministry statement said the conference in the Saudi capital had been requested by Rashad Al-Alimi, President of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, and the Kingdom urged all factions to participate “to develop a comprehensive vision” that would fulfill the aspirations of the southern people.
The separatist Southern Transitional Council has recently seized territory in the governorates of Hadramaut and Al-Mahra.
Saudi Arabia said the STC action poses a direct threat to the Kingdom’s national security, and regional stability.
Earlier this week, the military coalition supporting Yemen’s government carried out airstrikes targeting a shipment of weapons and vehicles destined for southern separatist forces. The shipment arrived in the port of Al-Mukalla on two vessels.
Saudi Arabia has reiterated the only way to bring the southern cause to a resolution is through dialogue.
Gulf and Arab countries on Tuesday offered their support for the internationally recognized government in Yemen.
