Al Qassim, known as the “dates capital” of Saudi Arabia, hosts a famous annual date festival, but dates markets can be found across the country, offering a variety of dates from sweet and soft to nutty and firm. These markets not only provide a chance to taste and purchase different varieties of dates but also offer a glimpse into the agricultural heritage of Saudi Arabia.
