DHAHRAN: Juthoor is back, bringing together a mix of local artisans, farmers and food vendors. The outdoor market runs until Jan. 18, giving families ample time to browse, shop and linger.
With cool winter breezes, outdoor seating and live music, the market provides an inviting setting to enjoy the fresh air and locally made goods.
Juthoor was founded by three lifelong friends: Ghsoon Al-Belushi, Noura Al-Dulaijan and Reem Al-Suqair. They set out to recreate the kind of community market they had enjoyed abroad but struggled to find locally.
One of the busiest booths has been Dammam’s Ana Starter Sourdough Factory, where visitors have sampled chocolate sourdough. Founder and CEO Aisha Alomair said Juthoor had played a key role in the brand’s growth.
She told Arab News: “Juthoor is the best market for us. This is our third participation and actually our first year being an official sponsor. With Zadk, the (local) culinary academy, we do a live grilled cheese station. It is soup season — we can’t miss this opportunity!”
