For travelers from Pakistan, a trip to Saudi often centers on spiritual fulfillment.
This year, add a new dimension of excitement to your journey. Extend your Umrah trip or plan a dedicated family vacation; the newly-unveiled experiences in Qiddiya City are set to redefine your travel itinerary.
Saudi’s winter calendar stays packed through early 2026, with Qiddiya City and Riyadh Season giving families plenty to do beyond your usual list of must-dos.
Meet Six Flags Qiddiya City
Nestled against the dramatic backdrop of the Tuwaiq Mountains, about 45 km from Riyadh, Six Flags Qiddiya City is the heartbeat of this winter’s festivities.
Trust the hype: this day-trip destination is worth it for its mix of bold rides and family-friendly fun.
If your vacation goal is basically “let’s do something we can’t at home,” this record-breaking park is waiting for you.
The Six Immersive Lands
Treat the park like six mini-worlds, each with its own style, energy, and standout rides. Each land has its own mix of dining and snack stops, so it’s easy to refuel in between.
City of Thrills
This is the park’s adrenaline headquarters filled with fast launches, huge heights, and looping contraptions that you’ll talk about for weeks to come.
Climb aboard Falcon’s Flight, a record-setting coaster that climbs to around 195 m, reaches up to 250 km/h, and runs over 4 km of track. Powered by magnetic acceleration, it delivers a rush that rivals a Formula 1 start.
Or brave the quick-but-intense hit, Sirocco Tower shoots you up and drops you in a heart-stopping free fall.
Valley of Fortune
Step into an Indiana Jones-style expedition amidst ancient Arabian ruins.
Try out Spitfire, the world’s tallest triple-launch coaster that blasts you forward, backward, and forward again into a series of inversions.
Steam Town
This town is a steampunk frontier where gears spin and steam hisses.
The crown jewel here is the Iron Rattler, the world’s tallest tilt coaster, which holds you at a 90-degree angle facing the ground, before releasing you into a vertical plunge.
Discovery Springs
This is a lush aquatic wonderland that feels like a rainforest in the desert featuring Sea Stallion, a rider-controlled coaster, and Into the Deep, an interactive dark-ride adventure that takes you through a cavern-style underwater world.
Twilight Gardens
The luminous, dreamy realm is a must-visit for families. Little ones will get a kick out of the Twilight Express and the Enchanted Greenhouse, a dark ride through a mysterious glasshouse.
Grand Exposition
A nostalgic celebration of innovation resembling a historic World’s Fair. It features the Gyrospin, a pendulum powerhouse that swings riders to a staggering height of 53 m.
