The date palm, revered in the region, provides both shelter and sustenance, referenced in the Qur'an as the tree of life and power. Harvesters in Saudi Arabia, with centuries of expertise, ensure the production of the finest dates. Home to the world's largest date palm oasis, recognized as a UNESCO Heritage site, Saudi Arabia takes great pride in this symbol, which also serves as the perfect accompaniment to coffee.
