Al Khalas dates, Oman

Dates aren’t just a snack in the Middle East: they’re fuel. The sweet, juicy dried fruits have sustained local people for centuries, in a land where only the hardiest plants thrive. They’re no longer essential for survival today, but they’re still one of the cornerstones of Omani culture.

In most homes and hotels you’ll be welcomed with tiny cups of bitter coffee and a platter of plump dates – the traditional Omani greeting.
