RIYADH SEASONAL DATES MARKET

If this market dedicated to the national fruit is open all year, it is during the season of fresh dates that it is in full swing, between late August and late November. Dates arrive from all over the country, knowing that depending on the variety, the period of maturity differs. You will find sukhari and khlaas, the two most common varieties. But the most sought after and most expensive are the "ajwa" dates which come from the Medina region.
