The flying restaurant in Abha is taking off

The experience takes place during Aseer Season. 

Dinner with a view takes on a whole new meaning, thanks to a new flying restaurant in Abha, Saudi Arabia. The experience takes guests into the sky with tables and chairs suspended from a crane. So, if you’re looking for a memorable meal, here’s what you need to know. 

The flying restaurant in Abha is proving popular on Instagram and sees guests suspended 50 meters above the ground at the Tihama viewpoint in the Fog Walkway in Abha. The videos show diners strapping themselves into the seats, as the crane then moves them up into the air. Guests’ feet dangle as they are then served food and drinks. The chef and staff are up in the air, too, and provide the meals to the table. 

This isn’t the first time that the Middle East has seen dining in the sky experiences. Dinner in the Sky was born in Belgium, and made its way to Dubai and Riyadh. Dinner in the Sky is available in Dubai, and sees guests sit 50 metres high in the sky. Located in Sky Dive Dubai, it offers views of the Dubai skyline. Plus, Dinner in the Sky also took place in Riyadh during Riyadh Season. 

Aseer Season takes place in the Aseer region, and brings together family-friendly fun. The season runs from 1 July to 1 September. The events cover cultural, entertainment, heritage and sports. The events also include the Saudi Super Cup from 13 to 17 August, Amal Maher and Fouad concert on 12 August, and By Huda Salon with manicures and pedicures.
