Hey there! I'm Marcus, a father of three who moved to Riyadh four years ago. What started as nervous relocating turned into discovering some of the most incredible family experiences I've ever had. No generic travel guides here, just honest stories from our weekend adventures across the Kingdom.

When we first arrived in Saudi Arabia, finding reliable information about family-friendly activities was genuinely frustrating. Most online content was either outdated or written by people who clearly hadn't actually visited these places with kids. So I started documenting our experiences, the good and the not-so-good, for other families making the same journey. Three years and countless adventures later, here we are.
Personal experiences from our family's weekend explorations
Riyadh
It took us three separate visits to properly explore Boulevard City during Riyadh Season. My kids still talk about the Combat Field laser tag experience, though I'll be honest, the crowds on Friday evenings nearly made us leave early. Here's what actually worked for our family and what we'd skip next time.
Jeddah
We expected the typical waterfront experience. What we got was an entire weekend of unexpected discoveries, from hidden playgrounds to the best shawarma my 8-year-old has ever declared "actually good."
Jeddah
After hearing mixed reviews, we finally visited Fakieh Aquarium. The dolphin show had my youngest in tears (happy ones), but there are some things I wish someone had told me before we went.
