If you’re looking for something memorable to do with family or friends, Yanbu is in full bloom right now, which means the return of Yanbu Flower Festival. Until April 23, you get the chance to admire its large floral displays and hands-on activities.
There’s a small train that moves visitors across the site and its multiple areas: Bird Garden, Flower Hills, Flower Village, and Flower Volcano.
One section, called “Around the World,” draws inspiration from international flower gardens and includes cultural elements such as live performances, theatre, and shows scheduled throughout the day.
Plan to stay until the evening to see illuminated flower displays. If you get hungry or want a break from walking, head to the boulevard. There are plenty of restaurants overlooking the lake where you can sit down and take a break.
The programme includes around 100 activities, with options for children such as exhibitions, face painting, and storytelling.
In 2026, Yanbu Flower Festival is open daily from 4 PM to 11 PM. You’ve got until April 23 to see all its beauty.
And if you’re looking for another family-friendly outing, Cyan Waterpark in Jeddah is now open, so you can check out the rides and get your tickets sorted before you go.
