When planning a trip to Al Hayat Plaza in Dammam, the prime time to visit would be during the cooler months starting from November to March. During this period, the weather is more pleasant, with temperatures ranging from a high of approximately 25°C (77°F) to a cooler 15°C (59°F) at night. This makes outdoor activities, such as walking to and from the Plaza, or enjoying nearby attractions, comfortable and enjoyable. It is also an excellent time for those who wish to combine their shopping experience with sightseeing around the city without the discomfort of the scorching summer heat that the region is known for.
On the other hand, if you're looking to experience shopping during Dubai's festive seasons or sales, consider timing your visit around key events like the Dammam Shopping Festival or national holidays when retailers often have special offers and storewide discounts. It is essential to note that the Plaza can get particularly crowded during weekends (which are observed on Friday and Saturday in Saudi Arabia) and public holidays, so for a more leisurely shopping experience, choose a weekday visit. Additionally, during the holy month of Ramadan, operating hours may be adjusted, and the evening hours post-Iftar can get particularly busy as people engage in nighttime shopping and social activities.
