Avatar

As you know, Ramadan is expected to start on April 2. Although we’re all waiting for the moon sighting to confirm the dates, what we do know is that Sha’bana is a time to spend with family and friends over some thrilling activities.

The Holy Month is just around the corner and for that reason, we’re rounding up 7 pre-Ramadan celebrations for Sha’bana

7. How does island hopping, kayaking and BBQing sound? AMAZING

The Kingdom has some amazing hidden gems and wouldn’t it be something to see it from an island’s point of view? Off the coast of Al Lith, just about 200km south of Jeddah, the open sea awaits, and it’s nothing like Cast Away. At this time of year, you might get a glimpse of whale sharks and don’t fret because they mean no harm if you dive near them. It’s an absolute must-do activity, so don’t forget your goggles and underwater camera so you can remember diving with the big boys, forever.
