Nofa Bird Centre & Picnic Area

Opened in 2022, the Nofa Bird Centre & Picnic Area is a new concept in Saudi Arabia.

The Nofa Bird Centre allows guests to enter its four large aviaries to have close up encounters with an extensive variety of birds including parrots, cockatiels, love birds, budgerigars, quail, partridge, guinea fowl and pheasants.  Other smaller aviaries are home to macaws, owls and larger parrots.

Larger outdoor enclosures are home to both common and red neck ostriches.  Guests are invited to feed ostriches, but from a safe distance!  The ostrich is the largest bird in the world.  The red neck is the largest ostrich.  Come and see the largest of the largest.

Other birds roam freely around the area, including geese, turkeys and ducks.

The Centre has a number of outdoor seating areas and many playground installations.  These facilities are ideal for family picnics.

The Centre also has a limited number of indoor seating areas, including both Arabic and Western seating styles.

The admission charge is SR 60 per person (including VAT).  There is an additional charge of SR 200 per stay (including VAT) to hire an individual indoor seating area.

The Centre is open only on Fridays from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.  Latest entry is 7:00 p.m.
