Carttel is a new adults-only arcade opening soon in Jeddah

Set to open in the premium Le Prestige Mall, Carttel promises to redefine how Jeddah’s high society enjoys a night out by reinventing nostalgia with a sophisticated edge. 

With a strict 18+ policy, this adults-only playground invites you to leave the kids – and your average arcade experience – behind.

Dim lighting bathes the space in a warm, inviting glow, highlighting velvet seating, polished brass accents, and art deco details that channel the environs of a retro English pub. Interactive lighting energises the atmosphere, while house music and Afrobeats crank up the energy, making sure the vibe stays as lively as the crowd. 

Carttel is a proudly homegrown concept, envisioned by a Jeddah local and avid traveler who saw an opportunity to bring something extraordinary to his city. Fuelled by his passion for gaming, he set out to create a space that offers the kind of premier entertainment venue many seek abroad – right here at home. 

Gaming corners flow naturally into dining spaces, letting you enjoy every moment without interruption. You can basically order anything from the menu, wherever you are. With two stylish bars, Carttel elevates the art of the mocktail, with each drink expertly handcrafted by skilled mixologists who create their own signature recipes. The standout? The Desert Rose—a refreshing blend of citrus and rose syrup, served in a sleek old-fashioned glass.

The venue spans two floors, each providing a unique mix of vintage charm and modern tech – imagine writing your name on a dartboard while its digital scoring keeps you on top of your game. On the ground floor, you’ll find bowling lanes with a retro feel, electric shuffleboards, smart dart boards, and state-of-the-art Formula 1 simulators that transport you straight to the racetrack. 

Looking for a more private setting? The VIP lounge offers an exclusive arcade haven for up to 25 guests, complete with its own bowling alley, dartboard, electric shuffleboard, F1 simulator, and dining area. It’s perfect for birthdays, exclusive corporate gatherings, or simply a night of indulgence with your closest circle. 

Head upstairs, and you’ll find an adult’s arcade dream come to life. Air hockey, basketball hoops, and pool tables transport you back to the best of childhood in a setting that’s anything but childish. The top floor also boasts a chic shisha lounge, dynamic football simulators, and our personal favourite: an 18-hole mini-golf course surrounded by lush greenery, offering a playful yet stylish experience. 

Now, let’s talk about the real game-changer: the food. Gone are the days when a fun night out meant compromising on dining. Carttel’s menu brings together your favourite dishes from around the globe, celebrating the best of international cuisine. From Italian classics to Asian-inspired dishes, burgers, tacos, and beyond, the offerings are as impressive as the setting. House favourites include the classic pizza Margherita and the spicy tuna roll.

Carttel is set to open early in 2025.
