Lionel Messi enjoys family holiday in Saudi Arabia

Argentinian football star Lionel Messi and his family arrived in Saudi Arabia on Monday to enjoy a holiday in Riyadh.

The trip is Messi’s second vacation in Saudi Arabia, having visited Jeddah with friends last year.

This time he is joined by his family who are delighted to be spending time with each other on a getaway packed with fun family activities and attractions.

They include cultural and historical gems, immersive outdoor experiences and the city’s modern entertainment districts.

Celebrities including Cristiano Ronaldo and Alicia Keys have been seen with their families in Saudi Arabia, which is becoming one of the worlds most vibrant new family-friendly destinations.

Messi, his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their sons spent the first day of their holiday visiting an authentic Saudi farm, away from the fast pace of the city.

They watched a palm-weaving demonstration against the backdrop of the majestic trees, which are a symbol of prosperity in Saudi Arabia.

The country’s palm trees produce more than 1.5 million tonnes of dates annually, which are a central part of Saudi Arabian cuisine.
