On Location
Production catering in Saudi Arabia builds around halal-certified menus, prayer-time meal cadence, Ramadan night-shoot iftar/suhoor service, and remote AlUla / NEOM / Empty Quarter logistics where the nearest commercial kitchen can be 100+ km away
All on-set catering inside the Kingdom is halal by default. There are no exceptions for global shoots. This holds for crew at NEOM's special economic zone. It also holds at AlUla's Habitas, Banyan Tree, or Shaden Resort hotel basecamps. Pork is banned across all channels. Alcohol cannot be served to crew on Saudi soil. Our coordinators work with hotel kitchens and OK'd third-party caterers. Saudia Catering is the kingdom-wide flag-carrier brand. It, Mövenpick Catering, and Marriott banqueting teams cover Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dhahran. AlUla shoots mostly pull from Habitas Resorts Banyan Tree's culinary team or Maraya banquet kitchens. NEOM shoots feed through Sindalah's hospitality operations. They can also use the Bajdah Studios commissary at the 9,000 m² stage complex. Menus blend Saudi staples like kabsa, mandi, jareesh, mutabbaq, and samboosa with global crews comfort food. We add dietary tracks for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and Hindu/Buddhist non-meat crew from the South Asian and East Asian workforce.
Meal timing follows prayer times and Saudi shoot rhythms. It does not follow the Western lunch-at-13:00 habit. Crew breakfast mostly lands just before or after Fajr. The second meal slots around Dhuhr. Afternoon craft service ramps before Asr. Wrap meals follow Maghrib. During Ramadan everything flips. Shoots hold suhoor, the pre-dawn meal, around 03:30-04:30. Iftar, the fast-breaking meal, comes at sunset. No public eating, drinking, or smoking is allowed on location in daylight. This is a national law, not just a religious request. Our craft service rolls in shaded coolers. We stock them with electrolyte sachets and dates for summer shoots. AlUla, the Empty Quarter, and Jeddah Corniche can hit 45-50°C. We also bring heated soup stations for Asir highland shoots near Abha. There, winter nights drop to 5-10°C. We set up Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) compliance and GOSI sign-ups for kitchen crew. We use bilingual Arabic-English ingredient cards so allergens are clear across mixed-nationality units.
