MONOPOLY debuts a custom edition celebrating the capital’s iconic culture and future-forward spirit A new kind of real estate boom has arrived on a board. MONOPOLY, the world’s most iconic property trading game, has officially launched a Riyadh edition, transforming the Saudi capital’s skyline, streets, and cultural touchstones into a fast-paced celebration of place, identity, and imagination. Unveiled at the cutting-edge KAFD Conference Centre on June 26, the launch event featured a life-sized MONOPOLY board, welcoming guests from across government, media, culture, and education to roll the dice, literally, into Riyadh’s evolving narrative. From heritage treasures to sleek new skyscrapers, the board reflects the city’s rich past and ambitious future. " We want the next generation to recognize the names and places shaping their future—what better way than through play? "—Mazroua Al-Mazroua, Chief Marketing and Experience Officer, KAFD DMC The Riyadh edition is more than a novelty—it’s a storytelling platform, designed to engage families of all ages. With over half the city’s population under 20, this edition speaks to a new generation of Riyadhis growing up amid rapid transformation. Mr. Monopoly himself made a special visit to the capital ahead of the event, touring key destinations that now feature on the game board. His cameo at the launch added a playful touch to an evening that balanced entertainment with cultural significance. " This game is a brilliant way for young Saudis to engage with their city while dreaming big, "—Sharif Hamad bin Majed Alowaishiq, Founder & Chairman, Saudi Youth Society The board’s layout reflects Riyadh’s multidimensional identity combining tourism, business, design, heritage, and innovation. Institutions like BISR Diplomatic Quarter are among the featured locations, linking education and community pride to a broader cultural moment. For a game that has sold 275 million copies worldwide, entering the Saudi market with a Riyadh-specific version offers something more: a chance to put the Kingdom on the map in living rooms around the world, one dice roll at a time. Available in stores across Saudi Arabia from September 2025, Riyadh Monopoly is poised to become both a collectible and a cultural touchstone. So, Riyadh, get your game face on. And remember: passing GO has never looked so good.

The global skincare phenomenon Skin Laundry lands in the Kingdom In a city where the climate can be unforgiving and skincare routines are getting more sophisticated by the day, Skin Laundry arrives in Riyadh as the answer to what modern beauty has been missing: results-driven treatments with no downtime, no drama, and no unnecessary steps. Founded in California and now loved across global beauty capitals, Skin Laundry has earned its reputation as a quiet powerhouse delivering clear, even-toned, and glowing skin through a clean, medical-meets-luxury approach. Its Riyadh location continues that philosophy with precision, polish, and a uniquely local sensibility. A Smarter Way to Glow Unlike traditional spas that prioritize pampering or clinics that often feel clinical, Skin Laundry occupies a distinct niche: a space where advanced skincare technology meets simplicity and style. The interior is minimal yet warm, designed for calm efficiency. Treatments are quick, powerful, and administered by licensed nurses trained in medical esthetics, ensuring both comfort and clinical excellence. At the heart of Skin Laundry’s offering is the Signature Laser Facial, a fifteen-minute treatment that uses non-ablative YAG laser technology to deeply cleanse pores, stimulate collagen, calm inflammation, and boost brightness in a single session. It’s become the go-to ritual for women who want visible results without sacrificing their schedule or skin barrier. But Skin Laundry Riyadh is far more than just facials. It also offers a full range of medical aesthetic services, including neuromodulators (Botox), hyaluronic acid fillers, microneedling, radiofrequency therapy, vitamin drips, and skin boosters. Every treatment is highly tailored, with an emphasis on natural-looking enhancements and skin health over time. Skincare That Supports the Results The brand’s in-house product line has become a staple among frequent flyers, minimalists, and ingredient-savvy beauty lovers. The collection is designed to complement its in-clinic treatments, offering everything from gentle foaming cleansers and peptide serums to hydrating sheet masks and SPF-packed daily moisturizers. Each formula reflects the Skin Laundry ethos: clean, uncomplicated, and clinically effective. For Riyadh’s women, many of whom are balancing sun exposure, makeup wear, and post-inflammatory pigmentation, these products offer a straightforward way to maintain brightness, tone, and clarity between appointments with no guesswork required. Why It Matters in Riyadh The arrival of Skin Laundry in Riyadh signals more than just the expansion of a beauty brand. It marks a shift in how local women and men approach skincare: not as a luxury, but as a lifestyle rooted in expertise, maintenance, and thoughtful care. It’s also a welcome middle ground between indulgent facials and full-on cosmetic procedures. Here, laser treatments are casual. Injectables are subtle. And science is never overbearing; it simply works quietly in the background, giving you the skin you’ve always wanted. Whether you’re preparing for an event, managing melasma, recovering from acne, or simply looking to maintain a clean, radiant complexion, Skin Laundry offers a reliable, beautifully modern solution that blends in seamlessly with Riyadh’s fast-paced, image-forward lifestyle. Final Word With its blend of clinical credibility, effortless luxury, and streamlined results, Skin Laundry Riyadh is the kind of beauty space the city has been waiting for. It’s skincare that respects your time, your taste, and your skin’s individuality — no overcomplicated routines, no aggressive downtime, just real results, delivered beautifully. If healthy, glowing skin is the new status symbol, Skin Laundry makes sure you're always one step ahead. ✨ Visit Skin Laundry Riyadh 📍 Location:  UWalk, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 📞 Contact:  +966 55 597 3665 🌐 Website:   www.skinlaundry.sa 📩 Booking:  WhatsApp to book

75 leather panels. 10 years of cult status. One unmistakable icon. Ten years ago, Jonathan Anderson redefined handbag design at Loewe. His debut piece? The Puzzle — a cuboid-shaped carryall sliced into 75 angular leather panels that stitched together more like architecture than fashion. It was—and remains—a bold assertion of craft, geometry, and forward-thinking design. From day one, the Puzzle bag walked the line between sculpture and function. It was a shape-shifter. A statement-maker. A favorite of editors, stylists, and low-key collectors who knew exactly what they were carrying. Over the last decade, it has evolved quietly but powerfully, never losing its intrigue. The Limited Re-Editions: Icons Reborn To mark this milestone, Loewe is diving deep into its own archives — and doing what few luxury brands dare to do: re-release its greatest hits. The Puzzle 10 Collection features 19 of the most iconic Puzzle bags ever made, brought back in their original forms, colors, and prints. These aren’t reinterpretations. They’re faithful reissues, complete with their signature construction and full artisan detail, presented alongside charming extras like balloon-letter “Puzz” charms and collectible plaques that nod to their place in fashion history. Some of the standout returns include: The FW15 Multi-Pink Runway Bag — The very first Puzzle that ever hit the catwalk, a color-blocked wonder in blush and fuchsia that feels just as modern today. The SS17 Cloud Puzzle — A dreamy sky-print edition that defined Loewe’s ability to turn softness into sophistication. Paula’s Ibiza Editions — Featuring tropical Kiwi and Parrot prints from past capsule collections, these bags celebrate Loewe’s playful, resort-ready spirit. William Morris x Loewe — A richly detailed, tapestry-style print from the brand’s 2017 collaboration with the legendary British textile designer. Ken Price & Joe Brainard Editions — Marquetry florals and surreal illustrations that turned the bag into a collector’s canvas. Each re-edition is limited, many made in extremely small quantities, with original artisanal finishes intact. These are not just bags. They are time capsules of Loewe’s evolution, curated through the lens of art, nostalgia, and meticulous design. Why Riyadh Cares In a city where fashion is both personal and performative, the return of the Puzzle in its most iconic forms feels especially relevant. Riyadh women are collectors by instinct. These bags aren’t just for the shelf. They’re made to be carried, worn, admired, and handed down. Much like Riyadh itself, a city at once historical and relentlessly modern, the Puzzle’s brilliance lies in its duality. It plays with heritage and rebellion, structure and softness, memory and innovation. Final Thought The Puzzle 10 Collection isn’t a marketing play. It’s a love letter to the design faithful — those who know that a bag can carry more than lipstick and keys. It can carry the values of a brand, the vision of a designer, and the aesthetic journey of a decade. Whether you’re buying your first Puzzle or rediscovering a favorite from Loewe’s past, one thing’s clear: some icons don’t age — they evolve.

A beloved favorite from New York to Tokyo, Ralph’s Coffee is more than a pit stop—it’s a lifestyle destination.

Where global cuisine and creative ambiance meet in the heart of the DQ In the heart of Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter, where embassies and elegance meet, Attaché has quickly established itself as a magnetic destination for elevated dining, social discovery, and cultural rhythm. Seamlessly blending European sensibility with Riyadh sophistication, Attaché isn’t merely a restaurant—it’s an immersive lifestyle concept, complete with a stylish terrace, and now, an atmospheric new hookah lounge. On our latest visit, the culinary experience proved as captivating as the design. Led by a team of chefs who clearly understand balance, presentation, and seasonality, the menu at Attaché takes its cues from continental classics, interpreted with fresh nuance. We began with the Swiss Comté Twice-Baked Soufflé—a standout dish that is as much a textural experience as it is a flavor triumph. Lightly golden with a luxuriously airy interior, the soufflé arrives atop a velvety cheese sauce, striking the perfect note between indulgence and refinement. It’s the kind of appetizer that sets the bar high, and rightly so. Next came the English Goat Cheese Salad, which might just be the most elegantly rustic salad in the capital. Generous chunks of tart goat cheese paired with heritage greens, toasted walnuts, and thinly sliced pear created a plate both vibrant and earthy. The honey-thyme vinaigrette delivered just enough brightness to tie it all together—fresh, clean, and deeply satisfying. For the main course, the Ricotta & Spinach Ravioli offered a comforting pause—a handmade pillow of dough filled with creamy ricotta and herbed spinach. The portion was perfectly restrained, the pasta tender, and the nuttiness of the butter and tanginess of the sauce playing off the ricotta’s richness in every bite. And then, the showstopper: Australian MB5 Wagyu Sirloin. Cooked to a blushing medium-rare and sliced with precision, this dish commands attention. The marble score translates into a melt-in-your-mouth finish that leaves a smokiness in it wake. It’s a main course that understands restraint and richness in equal measure. To finish, we tried the Saudi Coffee Tiramisu, a house creation that pays tribute to both Italian classicism and Saudi flavors. Swapping the espresso for spiced Saudi qahwa brings unexpected warmth and aroma to the dessert, while the mascarpone remains luxuriously light. It’s nostalgic and novel all at once—a clever regional homage. What makes Attaché stand apart is its layered experience. After dinner, guests can move into Club Unstable, a club that pulses with curated sound, dimmed lighting, and a cosmopolitan cocktail culture. It feels like something out of London’s Soho or Paris’s Marais—intimate, stylish, and always two steps ahead. And for those looking to unwind under open skies, the newly launched Hookah Lounge offers a serene yet stylish environment where shisha culture meets design-forward sensibility. With low lighting and soft house music, it’s become a new favorite for late-night conversations and creative energy. The Verdict Attaché continues to push the boundaries of Riyadh’s lifestyle dining scene. It’s refined but not formal, social but not loud, with a pulse that reflects the evolving tastes of the city’s most discerning diners. From perfectly crafted soufflés to Saudi-infused tiramisu, from club nights to shisha lounges, this is Riyadh’s diplomatic address for the culturally curious. Follow @attache.dq on Instagram to stay updated on their seasonal specials, live music nights, and lounge openings. Reservations recommended. Valet available.

Design, Discovery, and Stillness Minimalist and bold, Shebara Resort emerged as a futuristic haven suspended between sky and sea. Guests were invited to begin each day with breakfast and marine adventure—snorkelling vibrant reefs, sailing beyond the horizon, or simply surrendering to sun-drenched stillness. For travellers drawn to sand rather than surf, Six Senses Southern Dunes blended holistic wellness with majestic desert views. Family-friendly moments included Earth Lab workshops, spa treatments, and golden-hour walks through sculpted dunes. Activities like candle making and cinema nights brought the spirit of celebration to both young explorers and adult adventurers. Tucked among ancient stone formations, Desert Rock Resort continued to astound with its sculpted architecture carved into the mountainside. Stargazing walks, storytelling around the fire, and desert treks echoed the values of reconnection and reflection at the heart of Eid. Enrichment Awaits Beyond the resorts, The Red Sea’s broader offering brought purpose and thrill. Akun, the destination’s cultural immersion program, led guests through Saudi traditions with guided heritage walks, artisan workshops, and storytelling under ancient skies. WAMA offered pulse-raising water activities, from e-foiling and sailing to paddleboarding and kayaking, while Galaxea invited guests into the region’s vibrant marine life through guided snorkelling and diving with certified instructors.

The outdoor whirlpool, garden sauna, and bucket shower make it a complete retreat-within-a-retreat. Fitness lovers will appreciate the Technogym-equipped workout space, set near the sea with open-air energy. Whether you prefer a solo session or guided training, this is wellness designed for balance—paired, of course, with a post-workout swim in the surrounding sea. When the Sun Sets: Cinema and Celestial Secrets Evenings at Thuwal are where storytelling meets stargazing. The Starlight Cinema turns the beach into an open-air theater, complete with gourmet snacks and plush seating. Alternatively, take your gaze upward with the island’s astronomy experience. A professional astronomer leads guests through constellations and Arabian sky myths using a high-powered telescope, reviving the ancient practice of celestial navigation.
