    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: / 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 (goo.gl/maps/xV...) - 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!

    Years ago I worked as a chauffeur in Los Angeles. Many clients were not kind and I was mistreated on a regular basis. Of all the clientele I drove, the Saudis were the kindest, most considerate, and generous! I was honored one evening as I was awaiting to drive a Prince at his mansion to be invited into the home and partake in the most delicious food that I have ever tasted! Many days before I was sent home they always made sure i had dinner, then after, release me from my duties. Most mornings, they treated me to breakfast before I drove them. In ten years, no one was as kind and considerate as Saudis. I look forward to visiting the Kingdom, retracing your steps Mark! What wonderful people!

EVERY food item...except for Dates...are items I have never heard of before. Every dish prepared is a dish I would never understand or try. But, if lucky enough to visit such a place as this, Mark has made it seem like a Treat Beyond Compare. Thank You Mark.

Our Islamic religion commands us to respect people and deal with benevolence, generosity, assistance and respect. We are only ambassadors of peace on earth and we pray to the religion of peace and love. Just search for the religion of Islam and read in its books and you will find that this religion urges us to Virtue morals, hospitality, generosity and assistance, and we invite everyone to get to know our country and our cultures and enjoy a homeland where peace and cooperation prevail........❤️
