The women of Riyadh will soon be bouncing off the walls quite literally after it was announced that the world’s first female-only trampoline park would open in the Saudi Arabian capital in the coming months.
Bounce Middle East’s newest high-energy trampoline park is 3,000 square metres in size and has wall-to-wall activities for women of all ages.
When it opens, it will have 80 interconnected trampolines, a dodgeball arena, slam dunk set-up, inflatable airbag attraction and an X-Park adventure challenge course similar to the one in Abu Dhabi.
“Our first trampoline park in Saudi opened last year in Jeddah and the response has been electrifying. Thousands of families in the city are enjoying this new way to have fun and stay active,” says Mashael Attieh, Managing Partner of Bounce Saudi Arabia.
“With the opening of Bounce in Riyadh, we will provide ladies of all ages and abilities with one of the newest and most popular entertainment options in the market, as well as a training ground for all things aerial sports.”
Bounce recently opened an outlet in Jeddah and already has outlets in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.

What is graphene?
Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged like honeycomb.
It was discovered in 2004, when Russian-born Manchester scientists Andrei Geim and Kostya Novoselov were "playing about" with sticky tape and graphite - the material used as "lead" in pencils.
Placing the tape on the graphite and peeling it, they managed to rip off thin flakes of carbon. In the beginning they got flakes consisting of many layers of graphene. But as they repeated the process many times, the flakes got thinner.
By separating the graphite fragments repeatedly, they managed to create flakes that were just one atom thick. Their experiment had led to graphene being isolated for the very first time.
At the time, many believed it was impossible for such thin crystalline materials to be stable. But examined under a microscope, the material remained stable, and when tested was found to have incredible properties.
It is many times times stronger than steel, yet incredibly lightweight and flexible. It is electrically and thermally conductive but also transparent. The world's first 2D material, it is one million times thinner than the diameter of a single human hair.
But the 'sticky tape' method would not work on an industrial scale. Since then, scientists have been working on manufacturing graphene, to make use of its incredible properties.
In 2010, Geim and Novoselov were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics. Their discovery meant physicists could study a new class of two-dimensional materials with unique properties.
