ALULA: The children’s area of the AlUla Date Festival has been a hit with young attendees. The area offers seven activities: freehand drawing, agricultural education, physical games, carnival games, photography, confectionery, and face painting.
The Royal Commission for AlUla, which organized the festival, has ensured parents can take part in games with their children and provided all the necessary tools and materials for drawing. Local farmers have also been engaged to instruct children on the principles of agriculture.
The establishment of the children’s area aligns with the commission’s goal to make the festival an enticing destination for families. The design of the children’s area is inspired by AlUla’s environment, heritage, and culture, all presented in a manner intended to help children connect with their heritage and the diverse products of AlUla.
The commission has also launched the AlUla Date Festival Market, which will run until November 11.

Abdullah Al-Dawood took to the podium to share his pride in Qiddiya City’s speedy progress.
“Today, Six Flags Qiddiya City is complete, and Aquaarabia is over 95 percent complete,” he said.
With doors set to open in nine days, Al-Dawood made sure to remind the audience that this milestone is only the beginning of a grander vision for Qiddiya City and the Kingdom as a whole.
“What we are doing today goes beyond simply developing a project, it is about building a city and shaping the future of entire sectors. God willing, the Kingdom will be among the leading countries in the fields of entertainment, sports, culture and tourism” he said.
Minister of Media Salman Al-Dosari underscored the Kingdom’s recent monumental achievements in alignment with Six Flags Qiddiya City’s symbolic upcoming opening, stating: “We, in Saudi Arabia do not start where others end, we start where others dream.”
En route to the park, Qiddiya executives welcomed members of the press to their grand project as mountains made way to rollercoaster views.
Qiddiya’s progress in becoming a hub for entertainment and sports is visible in the daylight as cranes and construction crew gathered to finalize building some of the most anticipated projects such as Aquaarabia, a waterpark, and golf courses in the heart of the desert.
The park is the first Six Flags outside of North America and forms part of Qiddiya Investment Co.’s flagship development.
