Various popular cuisines
The resort features examples of traditional cuisines that represent the popular heritage of most of the inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula, from the Hejaz to the Gulf, and from the North to Yemen. These include:
The traditional kitchen features pots of various sizes... used for cooking large traditional feasts, which rely on cooking whole slaughtered animals, such as sheep or parts of camels and cows, with rice in various ways and according to traditional recipes over a wood fire. These pots range in capacity from one to six slaughtered animals per pot.
The traditional kitchen prepares the famous "Mandi feast" among the people of the Arabian Peninsula. The dish is made using pits in the ground, lined with stones or clay bricks, and then generous quantities of fragrant local firewood are burned in them. The site also houses a regular slaughterhouse large enough to slaughter and skin three animals at once.
Tannour (Al-Maifaa) is a clay pot heated with firewood, and traditional bread is baked inside it. It is used in some southern coastal areas to bake and roast fish while baking bread.
The "Tamis" oven is a clay half-spherical oven with an inverted shape, 120 cm in diameter. On the other side, there is an opening with a diameter of 50-60 cm. It is lit with local firewood to bake a popular bread that the people of the cities of the Hijaz became familiar with with the migration of pilgrims from the former Islamic republics of the Soviet Union.
This type of bread (Tamis) is accompanied by its accompanying dish... which is the fava bean dish... so that the two have become inseparable (despite their different origins) on the tables of the people of the Hijaz... whenever the name of one of them is mentioned... the name of the other automatically comes to mind.
At the crossroads of heritage and civilizations, every moment holds meaning... and every corner tells a story.
