Ramadan is a time for spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and community.

The Holy Month also holds immense social importance, as families and communities gather nightly for Iftar meals to break the fast together, fostering bonds of kinship and solidarity through group meals and family-friendly activities.

Although always part of the traditional fabric of our culture, in recent years the significance and impact of Ramadan Markets and Bazaars has grown significantly, as cities across the Kingdom host their own celebrations; from Riyadh, Abha, Al Khobar, Jeddah and beyond. This year, we have also seen an increase in celebratory Ramadan Season light displays in both Riyadh and Jeddah, and even in London.
