New Riyadh Attractions and Openings This Season

The Riyadh area is welcoming a wave of new entertainment destinations this season, led by the opening of Six Flags Qiddiya City, which received its first visitors on 31 December 2025 in Qiddiya City, Riyadh Province. Tickets start from US$85 for adults and US$70 for children, with entry free for children under four. Prices include rides, while an optional Unlimited GoFast Pass is available as an add-on.

More is on the way in 2026. Aquarabia Qiddiya City, a water park within the same development, is scheduled to open during the Eid al-Fitr holidays in March 2026. In the capital, SEVEN AlHamra, a new indoor entertainment destination, is expected in the second half of 2026 and will feature Formula E karting simulators, a Flow House surfing venue, and an indoor skydiving chamber.
