DIRIYAH, 21 April 2023: The Diriyah Gate Development Authority (DGDA) has planned an exciting lineup of events and activities for the residents and visitors of Diriyah to celebrate this year’s Eid Al-Fitr (1444H). The festivities will take place across different locations, including the historic UNESCO World Heritage Site of At-Turaif, the premium culinary destination of Bujairi Terrace, and a number of Diriyah parks and mosques.

The Eid Al-Fitr festivities held in At-Turaif are based on traditional Saudi hospitality, with visitors being welcomed to the site with the rich aroma of Saudi coffee and Dokhon, setting the tone for an unforgettable experience. The celebrations will also feature captivating performances of the traditional Saudi Ardah, the traditional celebratory dance staged in front of Salwa Palace, and the lively Samri folklore dance, performed at Prince Thunayyan Palace. Visitors will also be able to enjoy activities such as the purebred Arabian horse show, a Diriyah coffee workshop, and calligraphy stalls to get visitor’s names written beautifully in Arabic.

To enhance the festive atmosphere, DGDA also decorated and prepared three parks in Diriyah as well as five mosques throughout the city where Eid breakfast tables will be hosted on the first day of Eid Al-Fitr. Approximately 25,000 Eid gifts, known as "Eidiyyah," including boxes of sweets, are planned for distribution to the local community and Diriyah visitors.
