News

SMEs are showcasing their products at the Ramadan Market in The Boulevard in the Hittin district of Riyadh.

The market runs until Saturday, April 8, and is open from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Commonly known as bazaars or souqs, Ramadan markets are set up specifically at this time of the year and are centred around the holy month’s themes, such as spirituality and community.

The markets offer various clothing, food items and other goods that help reflect spirituality and culture during Ramadan.

An antique and sabha trader in Riyadh’s Souq Al-Zal, Rashid Al-Dossary, told Arab News: “I have been in that old market for years and people started calling me the mayor because I am known to buy the most antiques in the souq.”

The Ramadan Market also features booths that sell products evoking nostalgia in the older generation.
