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: - 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 - 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!
