Party Experts

- NADA ALTURKI

A few years ago, celebratin­g Halloween was banned by law in Saudi Arabia, but in a Kingdom now illuminate­d by Vision 2030, you can be anything that you want to be. As you cross the different corners of the city this spooky season, the Riyadh Boulevard, for example, is crawling with dressed-up figures: ghosts, ghouls and witches.

At costume shop Party Experts, the options are endless. The goal of the business is to help individual­s and their loved ones “make a memory” by providing quality ensembles and accessorie­s. When entering the shop this time of year, the place is packed with eager Halloween customers picking out blood capsules, body paint and colorful wigs.

Located in Riyadh on Abi Bakr As Siddiq Branch Road, Party Experts provides hundreds of costumes and dresses, from Disney princesses and superheroe­s, to folklore legends and slashers. You can be a pirate, zombie or jailer, or even create your own costume with the shop’s supply of accessorie­s and prosthetic makeup.

The night before Halloween, the shop’s shelves were fully stocked, making it the perfect place to do last-minute shopping in preparatio­n for spooky season escapades.

The physical store has a variety of options, but you can always find more options through Party Experts’ online store, which offers free shipping on orders over SR499. If dressing up for Halloween is not on the cards this year, you can still get into the spooky season atmosphere with the shop’s home decoration offerings, ranging from spider webs and orange pumpkins, to skull baskets and disfigured zombies hunting for human flesh.
