AL HASA OASIS, SAUDI ARABIA – Welcome to Al Hasa Oasis, the world’s biggest oasis, and home to over 2 million palm trees, and endless amount of date palms! It also happens to be home to some very unique and rare Arabian food. Today we’re exploring some fo the local dishes, including Hassawi red rice – considered more precious than gold!

Friend in the video:
Fahad Alshuaibi: https://www.instagram.com/fhadalshuaibi/ – Huge thank you to Fahad for taking me around Al Hasa and for the incredible food and experience!

Breakfast – Before doing anything we started with a champions breakfast in Al Hasa – simmered lamb legs with special bread made with date syrup. Delicious and the perfect way to get started on this Saudi Arabian food tour.

Qaisariya Al-Ahsa Sou (https://goo.gl/maps/xVqY55jYUD5u3ahx8) – Al Hasa is extremely well known for its market, where you’ll find everything you need from spices to herbs to clothes to coffee. It’s been a market that’s attracted people from all around the region and traders for centuries. It was fascinating to learn from Fahad about the unique and common ingredients used in Al Hasa cuisine.

Rice harvest – We took a quick trip to a farm to see some of the hassawi red rice harvest
This can be quite a quick edit to see the hassawi red rice harvest. It’s only grown in the Al Hasa oasis, and it’s one of the world’s most expensive rice grains, and extremely rare. Local consider it more precious than gold, and it has huge nutritional value.

Farm for cooking and eating – The highlight of this experience was going back to the date palm farm where Fahad and friends cooked a huge local meal including the most delicious and rare Al Hasa foods that really showcase the incredible local culture. The spread of food and the variety was astounding – it was one of the best meals I had in Saudi Arabia!

Thank you again to Fahad and to Visit Saudi Arabia for arranging my trip and this incredible experience!

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA – Welcome to Riyadh, the biggest city in Saudi Arabia and home to diverse people, and some incredibly delicious food. Today I’m taking you on an ultimate local Saudi Arabian food tour of Riyadh, we’ll be eating some of the greatest dishes, food you don’t want to miss!

Here are all the locations featured in this food review:

1. Fawal Abo Salem (https://goo.gl/maps/TyzPpWvigqEM5JcZ6) – We’re beginning this Saudi Arabian food tour in Riyadh with a staple breakfast – ful – mashed fava beans that likely originate in Egypt, but are widely popular throughout the entire region. Ful medames at Fawal Abo Salem for breakfast is some of the best in the entire city – and I was blown away by the quality and flavor, paired with the freshly baked bread.

2. Camel liver – I’m not totally sure of the name of this place, but they are famous for their fried camel liver, sauteed down with onions and peppers. It’s truly tasty, right off the hot griddle with fresh bread and a dash of hot sauce.

3. Alnaqaa Falafel & Hummus (https://goo.gl/maps/SzCLzQTAteZVUHc76) – To eat the best Falafel and Hummus and Riyadh, you have to go to Alnaqaa – it’s absolutely legendary, and it felt as though I was right back on the streets of Beirut. One of their specialties is a giant falafel stuffed with caramelized onions. And make sure you order the entire falafel mountain!

4. Kebda Restaurant (https://goo.gl/maps/6advt5emgE6eoUfRA) – This Riyadh food tour is not complete with only camel liver – another popular liver to eat is lamb liver, and this time it’s not served on a plate, but with bread, sandwich style. Some of the tastiest lamb liver you’ll ever try!

5. Sudah Restaurant (https://goo.gl/maps/FprxbXE6A4TdMmkdA) – To begin this food tour and to end this food tour, it was a privilege to spend some time at Sudah Restaurant to learn about Haneed, an Arabian food that at this restaurant originates from Aseer Province. They still make it the traditional way, loading parted out young lambs into an underground oven, layered with a specific type of hay that holds in the moisture and gives a distinct fragrance. The result is smokey lamb served over a mountain of rice, that literally melts in your mouth with the smoky fragrance of the hay. It was an unforgettable meal experience in Saudi Arabia!

And that wraps up this ultimate Saudi Arabian food tour in Riyadh, what a day of delicious food.

Thank you to Visit Saudi Arabia for arranging my food trip to Saudi Arabia!
