JAX Ramadan Market in Diriyah: A Vibrant Night of Food, Art, and Culture

The JAX Ramadan Market in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, has opened for the month of Ramadan as part of the Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale's "Layali Biennale" program.
The market offers visitors a fun and vibrant atmosphere with music, food, and art.

The market is open from 8:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. and features local Ramadan favorites with a modern twist.

There are seven hot food stations for live cooking and eight stations for various cuisines and products such as chocolates, dates, tea, cheese, and crackers.

Visitors have expressed enjoyment with the market's offerings and atmosphere.

Ismail spoke about a Ramadan market with a diverse range of unique and high-quality businesses.

Factors considered included product authenticity, cultural significance, and visitor experience.

Live oud and piano performances were provided for guests' enjoyment.

A long table was set up for community dining.

One booth, Balila Al-Hijaz, offered boiled chickpeas with pickles and spices.

The text describes two booths, The Flavors of Hijaz and Musa & Palm, at a market in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, offering stuffed dates as a Ramadan tradition.

Another booth, Najd Luqaimat, sells cheese-stuffed fried dough balls with various syrup options.

Visitor Marzouqi shares her fond memories of Ramadan in Jeddah and how the market brings back those memories, with her favorite booth being The Flavors of Hijaz.

A market participant expressed disappointment about the market's size but enjoyed the Ramadan nights' activities.

The Truffleers, a Saudi Arabian luxury chocolate truffle company, showcased their products, including salted-butter caramel truffles, pure chocolate truffles, Arabian coffee beans, and cookie crisps.

Launched three years ago in Dhahran, The Truffleers has expanded across the Kingdom with seven locations and is participating in events like the JAX Ramadan Market.

Wijdan Hussein, the company's operations manager, praised the market's atmosphere and reported a successful event for The Truffleers.

Afnan Mahmoud, a sales representative, mentioned that all their desserts are handmade and customizable based on the occasion.

For instance, they can design desserts specifically for Ramadan or other celebrations.
