Yambu: This year’s Yambu Flower Fair, which is the largest flower fair in Saudi Arabia, has come to an end with the amazing color and fragrance left in the memories.

The fair, which was earlier announced to end on March 9, was extended by the organizers Yambu Royal Commission Authority until April 30 due to the unprecedented number of visitors. The fair, which was stopped due to the Covid crisis, came back this year after four years with innovative and exciting programs.
In the first stage, visitors were allowed to enter the fair from 5 pm to 11 pm by getting a ticket worth 11.50 Saudi riyals. At the last stage, the cost of the tickets was set at 30 Saudi Riyals by the authorities, so the number of visitors decreased a little.

One of them was the biggest word ‘Salman’ written in flowers. The flower word ‘Salman’, which refers to the name of the Saudi ruler, is considered to be the largest flower word in the world. 19,474 red roses were used to create this big word. This year’s flower festival also earned the distinction of being the world’s largest flower basket. 1,27,224 natural petunia flowers in white and red were used for this. The fair also has the world’s largest glittering garden. Its flowers are more than 2,50,000. Third among the achievements is the largest space rocket made of reusable (recycled) materials. This spaceship, made from recycled materials, is one of the special achievements of the Flower Festival 2024. It shows the potential and importance of a recycling system in protecting the environment.
The visitors were delighted with the wonderful sight of different flowers.
